So I dated this guy once who was such a sheep he didn't vote in the last election for fear of offending either me or his mother. His mom is VERY high in NASA ranks so he 100% has been born into education and white privilege (1/?) https://twitter.com/maggiekelly321/status/1267293399494819840
I'm not gonna drop an @ but those of you who know me know exactly who I'm talking about. Check out his page. He has YET to use his privilege and platform to say anything about the actions of white people in this country. And all of the money I have says he won't. (2/?)
White silence IS Supression. No way around that. I have 0 respect for people who cannot form their own educated opinions and act. The only thing I'm sorry about here is that I spent 5 years as a Shepard and was ultimately unsuccessful. (3/?)
He most certainly isnt the only one but I know for a fact that if he stamps his last name on something in DC, people will listen. AND THAT IS PRIVLEDGE. He did not get that platform from ANYTHING he did. HE did not earn it. Yet he is CHOOSING not to act. (4/?)
So the moral to this thread is white people: RECOGNIZE YOUR PLATFORM AND USE YOUR PRIVLEDGE. Because at the end of the day, if you are silent, you are complacent.
