white privilege is NOT:

• I can do whatever I want and face no consequences because I'm white
• being white gives me special secret services like a vip club

white privilege IS:

• my life is not made any more difficult because of my skin color

so people with white fragility saying "well my life is hard too🥺": no one is saying it isn't. it's just that your life is not negatively impacted by the color of your skin. saying "white privilege doesn't exist" because you can't see what your privilege does for you or see the hardships others go through that you don't experience is ignorant and false.

#many people dont recognize their white privilege because its the basics #its walking into a store without being followed #because people assume you're going to steal something #its walking alone at night without the cops getting called #its not getting your resume thrown out as soon as they see your name #its being treated like a human
