it is 7:30am & i have already initiated an argument with a crusty white boy that said racism doesn’t exist bc he has never experienced it & although he intentionally ignored the news bc it’s a “downer” he still doesn’t think it exists. also went on to not think (1/?)

white privilege exists because he hasn’t been shown he has more privilege??? HONEY all you have done in your thread is SHOWN YOUR PRIVILEGE (2/?)

you do not have to experience racism for it to exist. you do not have to personally witness racism for it to exist. (3/?)

I AM VIBRATING if this was an in person class i would be in a yelling match & possibly throwing hands. don’t come into a class discussion about racism thinking it doesn’t exist even with your required readings that PROVE IT DOES (3/?)

i commented on his trying to sound nice bc i don’t wanna start too much shit online since people feel more confident to say racist shit online but basically i said you don’t have to experience it for racism to exist & the fact he never HAD to experience it shows his privilege (5/

thankfully you don’t get notifications when someone comments so i will regularly check until the next class day to see if he answered me. will update this thread if he does. (6/6)
