I’m a dancer, choreographer, and musician from Mountain View, California. My dance style is a mix of urban hip hop with lyrical elements. Some of my major influences include Keone Madrid, Johnathan Shay, and Brian Puspos. I’ve performed at USASF Dance Worlds, Vibe Jrs, Bridge, and Urban Paradise.
The truth is white privilege means that white people are seen as individuals not as a collective group. They have there Caucasian features to make them look human while black and brown people are seen as apes who have not evolved into full humans. It does not mean that white people are born rich or they do not experience hardship in their life, but there light skin protects them from racial profiling. They are not seen as a threat, for example if you been to the continent of Asia. Countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and so on you would notice being white is seen as beautiful & normal because they are obsessed with skin bleaching so they could be white to have light skin. White Privilege does not mean your life has not been hard it means that the colour of your skin isn’t one of the things that makes it harder. There is a quote that goes “when you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
Wow. This is amazing! Can I have permission to use this for a zoom Sunday service for the Valley Unitarian Universalist Congregation in AZ? We are talking about white privilege and this is so well said.
Part of the problem with White people ( I am one of them) is that we just don't get it. It is so subtle to us that we don't see it. Many of us think White Privilege is all about driving nice cars and having a nice home. These are things one works for. White Privilege has nothing to do with possessions. It's about Preferential Treatment; it's not earned. White Privilege is my ID being passed over on a credit card purchase for $100.00 but the black lady next in line had her ID scrutinized carefully to make sure it's not fake on a $25.00 purchase. White privilege gets a traffic warning for a broken tail light while a Black man gets a bullet for the same broken light. I never understood that until a conversation with a friend who isn't white. Thanks, Malina for opening my eyes. I hope I got it right.
Seems like Macklemore is trying to fit in for sure! I'm sorry Macklemore feels he has held down the black community at some point. I think Knocka- Stop Blaming The White Man says it better. Or Burden-White Privilege. How about Adam Calhoun- Racism. Don't fall for this SJW crap, it just suppression. #TrueAltLeft #jussiesmollettsyndrome #blmisthekkk #defundthemedia #notmypresident #bidennotmypresident #NotMyPresidentBiden
The least Z could’ve done was invited him as her special guest to one of her concerts, movie premieres, or the set of one of her tv shows if she couldn’t go to his prom! Other than that, I’m glad she saw this and liked it!
I just cried for a good hour because it's so sad to see this actually happening. America is so ugly. We preach how free America is, but we cant even figure it out. Disgusting
