We are well aware that the world he walks in is different from mine. But, we use his "white privilege" to our advantage whenever necessary.

(53,661 posts)I'm tired of this crap, but hardly ever see it in the neighborhood where I live now. People won't put up with it. And it is the black women who get the brunt of it, every single time.

(71 posts)I am a white woman. I was in a grocery store one time and tired. I had filled my basket and was waiting in the check out line. Then I heard a black woman behind me say in an annoyed and loud tone: "I am not stealing in this store, I came in to shop here. Why are you following me around?!!" Then I said in a loud voice, "I can't shop here if black people are treated like this in here." Then I turned to those in line behind me and said loudly: "And I hope everyone here will leave their groceries behind and leave the store like me!" And I left without my week's groceries on a Friday night, but I was happy to have done the right thing!

(46,775 posts)Which is why it's so difficult to expose good ole boy cultures. We don't live normal lives under these environments, because we're not meant to. It doesn't matter how much dirt we got on them. Until we have Kathleen's stand up for us, to say that they see the same things we are seeing, no one will listen.

(943 posts)simply deny it exist. I know first hand because I bring up the subject ( to white friends and family)
and they vociferously adamantly deflect and deny it. It was as if I had accused them of using the "N" word.
Yes whites hate the words "white privilege" profoundly.

(787 posts)exist! I never deny it exists. I abhor it's existence. Worse yet, in my life I have even met some who embrace it. I use it like the bitch it is for the best possible use I can. However let us not for get "All Power corrupts."
