    That man could have just sat back and collected his Netflix checks and pats on the back from respectable Black folks from now until eternity. But NO! He needed to directly shame dark skinned Black people who are rightfully pointing out an obvious blind spot his projects have.

    Buttigieg’s polling with black voters remains consistently catastrophic. But as I argue, white privilege isn’t just about being let into doors that others aren’t. It allows certain people to stay and go about their business—all while being taken seriously.

    There are 607 billionaires in America. There are 328,000,000 people in America. Right now those 607 people have more access and power in our democracy than the 328m combined. This isn’t about the dollar amount that people donate; it’s about what they get in return.

    And yet these ppl who create hateful laws like CA’s prop 187 never seem to learn their lesson. Oppression will always be met with resistance, creating new generations of leaders from the communities they attempt to degrade.
