Video Clip: Using White Privilege to Help Minorities

Sunshine.

The good sis Jameson brought up a very good question yesterday in the Myths About Racism and Privilege thread when he said:

Quote:

Okay I've realized that [whites have privilege].
Now what?

Here is a vivid example of how white people can use their status in society to help their minority friends.

Let us unite, sistren.

Note: If you don't believe in white privilege, this is not the place to debate it. Leave and make your own thread.

Sigh.I'm sorry, but every time a dominant class/race/gender or whatever tries to do this, the minority classes always have to give them crap for it and question their intentions for doing it and refuse help. Atleast that's how I see it.

Every time?

That's quite often. I can't say I believe your claim.

The point is to at least try.
Lord knows I wish I had someone stick up for me when I was profiled 3 months ago.

I see the point in here, but I think that black people or people who feel racist behaviour on themselves should stand up for themselves, no matter what anybody thinks

Yeah, I've seen that sometimes as well. We have to make sure when we help it doesn't come across as patronizing, but there are also some people who will just flat out refuse help. I'm sure most will appreciate it though.
