@targrus I hear you. So many times I stop myself from saying, “I’m not like other white/cis/het/males!” Of course, my privilege makes that not as big of a deal. #CheckYourPrivilege I always try to check my privilege, but am open to criticism when I fall short.
I got about two-thirds of the way through this article on whiny overprivileged white people and their "poor me" club. If I had any tiny violins left, I'd have smashed them to firewood. Two bits that stood out:
"The people I saw were mostly white; Paresky said she doesn’t really pay attention to the racial breakdown of the guest list. " 🤨
"“I’ve done enough psychedelics that I could forgive Hitler,” she told me."🤮

It's really disappointing when you ask a middle aged, middle class cis het white guy who you thought was "one of the good ones" to have a look at an argument they've made about a subject "they could have no idea about because they're a cis het white guy" and their response is to block you.

@FloydyStu Jesus, you're really doing your best smug middle class boomer impression today.
I'm a woman, #FFS. Don't tell me what kind of "ball game" it is. It's not a fucking game. It's a total absence of protection, help or support from a national service that's supposed to be for everyone. I will never call the police, even in the most dire situation, because I know from experience the dehumanising and terrifying experience it is.

Ever been told to #CheckYourPrivilege?
Take my quiz to learn more about unearned privilege. Particularly important for leaders of other humans in the workplace.

“Becoming aware of #privilege should not be viewed as a burden or source of guilt, but rather an opportunity to learn and be responsible so that we may work toward a more just and inclusive world.”
Who said this? Maybe Ja’Nina Walker, a #psychology professor at USF and a member of the #CheckYourPrivilege campaign team.
