White privilege in action.

I was going to ATTEMPT to disagree somehow with you right up to the point she gave her OMFG! DON'T ACTUALLY TOUCH ME! "hug".

I'll just concede it on principle.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Congratulations VideoSifters!

It took several days for a racist troll to pop up. I think that's pretty damn good for any internet community.

FYI, Heffro, I am white and privileged.

Does the sexism factor cancel it out, what with the female being the judge and all?

It'd be nice if straight white cis males weren't guilty at birth of oppressing everybody else...

There's a difference between oppression and privilege. As a straight white male you start with advantages over other people. These aren't advantages of talent or intelligence, they're purely socially constructed for no good reason other than one group hoarding power and influence for centuries.

It's perfectly natural, but that doesn't make it right.

Individuals aren't responsible for the social fabric, but people should at least acknowledge their place in the scheme of things.

Also, I think it's important to note that 99.9% of whites deserve equal or more than what they currently have. The system is wildly skewed by the ultra-rich vacuuming up a massive share of wealth and influence. It's just that we deserve to live somewhat better, whereas many minorities deserve far better treatment than they've had historically and continue to have.

Let's maybe make a distinction here though when two kids attend the same elementary school, and were good friends that still remember each other years later as adults. When one has made it up to being a judge and the other has messed up and is headed to jail, maybe lets not automatically chalk that up to the color of their skin, no?
