Irony: well known White male #sociology Prof predictably says his Whiteness can't predict his thinking. https://twitter.com/ProfSteveFuller/status/847347731945332736 … #marginsci

and, is it me, or is the use of the phrase "suffer from 'white privilege'" obtuse? and from a sociologist, nonetheless.
#marginsci -
Someone else brought this up & I've thought more of it since: "suffer from" evokes an illness he sees himself as cured/immune. He's wrong.
-
YES! It's also redirecting the narrative. That a white male would be the one bearing the burden of white privilege????
-
Like he is oppressed by the oppression of others at the hands of a system that is built to favor him.
-
Yes - a colonialist move: the oppression is his to be bear & be freed from. He's encumbered with this privilege he says doesn't apply to him
-
As you suggested earlier, perhaps it's also pathologizing 'PC culture'
-
Certainly be feeds this notion. He knows better than to say this outright. He said this publicly to seek validation. Every level of wrong.

White privilege is a concept explaining how White people are buffered from seeing the daily benefits they receive from structural racism.
-
Buffered is an excellent term. It implies that with determination one can begin to recognize it.
-
Indeed. And there's no excuses not to do the work given there are many free tools available to public plus academic resources for Profs

White privilege is White sociologists thinking that race & racism doesn't apply to them; just something they can be experts in.
