Please share this video of Edie Falco explaining the IDC. Most NYers are unaware their rights are being taken from them.https://youtu.be/5mESf-kjuSI
Because an essential feature of white privilege is freedom from consequences from many mistakes, white people often genuinely struggle to detect that they ever benefited from it. The benefit was invisible to them.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/928345342118187008 …

White privilege is enjoying your rights without standing up for those whose rights are being denied.

I know many who attempt to refute their white privilege by pointing out that they once didn't get a job, or couldn't get a loan. They actually think that privilege would have literally handed them everything they ever wanted.

This is what makes white privilege so hard to explain. Like explaining germ theory without microscopy.

So true, some of them genuinely don't see how they've received ever advantage over others. They have this ingrained entitlement, like they got advantages bc somehow they were just more deserving.

Insightful and important piece Shaun.I would love to see your comments on how austere evangelicalism in the Air Force, glorified militarism and misogyny intersected with his white privilege to enable his complete lack of accountability. He's the poster child for toxic masculinity

I’m a perceivably white girl (jewess who still gets shade here in GA) Anyway at 19 I was arrested for felony possession of 3 substances, plead guilty on 1st offender program, after time served got 3 yrs probo, let me go after 1.5, record expunged.

Meanwhile a black lady I sat in county with, who was snatched on lesser charges– I think just felony weed (over an ounce)– sat in that county jail for almost a year before being tried. Then moved her to state pen where she served another 4 yrs.

But Shaun, could you please change to White MALE Privilege. I’m pretty sure the white wife he beat didn’t feel any privileges.
