there have been a lot of misconceptions so im here to explain how WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL and what the blm movement means. #BlackLivesMatter

this is coming from a hispanic-white person. so if there are any misconceptions in this thread, please educate me.
here’s where the confusion comes in for a lot of people. when people talk about white privilege, it doesn’t mean “oh, your white? well then you have no problems or struggles in life.”
white privilege means your skin color does not cause the problem.

no white person has been shot for going on a jog. no white person has been shot even when there was no form a resistance to arrest. no white person has been shot for just breathing.
white people have never been oppressed, especially in america. frankly, this country was BUILT to provide for white people.
just because someone calls you a “cracker”, “white”, or “privileged” does not make you oppressed!

don’t lessen the value of this protest by saying “all lives matter” because yes, they do all matter however the police force doesn’t see it that way.
when people are protesting for black lives matter, it does not lessen any value that your life has. you’re not going to lose what other people gain.
white people should use their privilege for good and to educate other people on the situation instead of getting angry when people are finally stepping up for what’s right.
