here’s the thing about white privilege

so-treu:

it’s really not enough to acknowledge that you have it. like, good for you, but it doesn’t *stop* there.

it’s kind of one of those zero sum “if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem” things.

if you’re not actively working to dismantle the structures that give you white privilege - i.e. white supremacy - then you are not only benefiting from your privilege, you are furthering white supremacy.

period.

anything other than that and you ARE the problem.

(and NOT my ally.)

Passive allyship is not allyship at all
Active allyship is the only allyship

    THIS! Yes, we have to admit we have privilege to start, but after that we can’t just say “Oh well…” We have to act on...
