#WhitePrivilege is me tweeting about the same things indigenous people do but I never get banned

#WhitePrivilege is me tweeting the same things indigenous women do and I don't get death threats, toxic DMs, etc.
#WhitePrivilege is saying "but my ancestors were Irish U DON'T KNOW HOW THEY SUFFERED" and actually thinking it matters in 2019
Sit down, Fergal
Same goes for any other European ancestors. Whatever happened to them decades ago, you're now white. Shut up.

And get into therapy if you have trauma.
Omg so yes, fellow white people, I know a lot of you are traumatized. Same. Have mental health issues. Same. Have ancestors who suffered. Same!

We're mostly traumatized by our own euro culture btw.

We Still Have #WhitePrivilege tho.

We Still Need to Do the Work tho.
Can we please stop centering ourselves for a hot minute? Like seriously? Imagine having the issues you do now and not being white

Jesus H kerist it's not just about us
OMG SO MANY BOTS
Ok I'm specifically talking about white people using their ancestral trauma to be twats to indigenous people and others in 2019. You know, the ones who say " my ancestors starved & came to Canada with nothing & worked hard even though they only had 1 arm why can't FN do that
Instead of asking for hand outs" completely ignoring the structural racism in place against FN, Metis and Inuit today and the past. And Black people, too.

I'm talking about you. Specifically you.
