And as for black folks, it is the experience of whiteness that makes us wary of Caucasians, not the phrase “white privilege,” lol.
And like... I guess you can be mad if you want that news media doesn’t use socialist rhetoric, but they weren’t ever doing that? So like, if they adopt “SJW rhetoric” it’s probably an improvement over the “take hegemonic identities for granted” rhetoric they used before??
But like sure, in theory, this rhetoric does alienate some working class white people. And if you’re convinced that class solidarity is the only hope for the human race, then yeah, you should fight against that, I guess.
But I have trouble identifying exactly who it is that will be turned off by social justice rhetoric, but not by, you know, any accurate and honest expression of black folks’ experiences and feelings. But whoever’s talking to those folks, more power to you!
Also, the number one place where I am skeptical of social justice rhetoric is that it mostly comes from relatively privileged academic types. But you know what is SUPER jargony and foreign to most regular folks? Socialist rhetoric.
I feel like the phrase “white privilege” is a lot more accessible to and recognizable to regular people than “ruling-class formation.” And you prove your words by bringing them out into the world and seeing if real people recognize and apply them, you know?
