Question for white men, do you really feel privileged? And are you bothered by the “white male privilege” assertion that seems to be everywhere?

As a mixed Middle Eastern and European (that looks 100% white), I agree with you fully.

White men (especially older ones) are some of the most entitled fucks on the planet. They don’t care to put themselves in other people’s shoes or empathize, they just want to be right based on their narrow views. And this disdain spreads to every culture, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and even their own women.

Whites will never understand what blacks went and still go through, but a lot of us do want to be allies. Especially millennials and younger generations, there’s a lot trying to break the cycle of the past, and even ending relationships with parents or other relatives over archaic views.

Probably won’t happen in our lifetime, but I hope we can just view each other as human beings down the line and forget about labels.
