A letter to teenage white males from a person of colour

[Rube Reaper]

Because you are male, you were born a winner of the patriarchal jackpot. You are more likely to rise to the top of the career ladder and will be better paid on your way up. The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body. On top of that, because you are White, and you live in a country that is structurally racist, you enjoy the huge privilege your skin color gives you.

Agreed.

Republican voters are sick and confusing people.

@Rube Reaper is a racist, so there’s that…

Elon say OP is a bot

Elon is neither a teenage white male or a person of colour so his position doesn’t matter here beyond accepting his white privilege.

 

[Jakethedog]

My 13 year old son says you're a racist troll. Used his white privilege to diagnose your shenanigans

Feels good man!

Maybe the person of color should just pick himself up by his bootstraps and stop crying “woe is me”

As a person of color myself, I agree with this.

They have picked themselves up.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t entitled to help and reparations still or that there shouldn’t be public awareness brought to their systemic oppression.

Goddamnit. This board migration took this ridiculous troll off ignore for me. For the life of me I have no idea why so many of you engage this moron. If everyone ignored him either by ignore function or simply not responding to anything he says he eventually would leave because until that happens you are giving him the attention he craves.

I am waiting for it to leak its real name

You should come and attempt to chill with the hardcore(anti-everyone of any skin pigmentation or nationality)Māori groups in NZ for a bit.
Might grant ya some new & refreshing perspective.
#FYI: Nope,...they[the Māori] were absolutely not the original inhabitants here.
#In fact, the Māori ate the earlier Moriori & Scandinavian inhabitants of NZ.

You have to admit, it IS a bit of a birthright. After all, our white ancestors DID build the place.

He’s African American, groomer.

He’s African American, groomer.

So?

He isn’t a person of colour. Full stop.

Blacks feel safer in my towns restaurants then I do in their towns restaurants.
Blacks can walk down the street in my neighborhood. I cant walk down the street in theirs. Shit they feel better in our area then they do in their area. FFS

They are people of colour not “blacks”.

Secondly, that’s getting closer to how things should be. Once we see laws allowing for the systematic oppression of whites, lynchings, and various other forms of murder for a couple hundred years then white people will start to understand how privileged they had it.
