@aurabogado Being granted legitimacy by cultural hegemony doesn't come without a fight. But it doesn't always come with one, either.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

So... You think black people are "privileged" that there's some acknowledgement of their oppression?

For starters: black people aren't suddenly privileged if their oppression is recognized.

RE: minority conflated with black: we non-black people do that when we claim oppression that's specific to black people.

We're say "people of color face x specific challenge," when it's actually black people that face the particular challenge.

But I think I'm most taken aback by the idea that recognizing oppression again black folks somehow makes other poc invisible
