White Privilege

You want to acknowledge one privilege, but disregard others entirely.

How about the privilege to openly insult others based on their skin? The privilege to spout racist nonsense with no repercussion because it's socially acceptable? The privilege to sit on the internet in a place with clean water, a place to put your feces that you don't have to clean up regularly, wearing clothes that won't kill you with flesh eating diseases because you can keep them clean?

The reason people laugh at your idiotic notion of privilege isn't because we don't believe that there are systemic problems in our society, it's because you're daft enough to leverage statistics to attribute them to specific qualities with one hand, and on the other hand, when people show you statistics that indicate things you DON'T want to acknowledge, you brush it away with hand waves like "numbers can be made to say anything."

It indicates a complete and total lack of perspective, and that's why nobody will take you seriously. That's why we have an orange psychopathic incompetent narcissist in the white house instead of a reasonable individual; you have radicalized the opposite side of the political spectrum with such insane social rhetoric that people are willing to accept a man that thinks global warming is a CHINESE FUCKING CONSPIRACY as their leader instead of having to deal with a party that wants them to feel bad about the pigment of their fucking flesh.

Pull your head out of your ass, or it will keep getting worse. There's literally nothing the rest of us can do until you stop.
