Thread: Check your white privilege.

So it turns out, according to this graphic published by the national museum of African American history and culture, these attributes of your character/nature are manifestations of your white privilege, so if any of this applies to you, stop it, your white privilege is showing.

“work before play”
“hard work is the key to success.”
The “nuclear family” (mother father and children) is the “ideal social unit”
Objective, rational and linear thinking.



That terrible white culture apparently also emphasizes respect for authority, delayed gratification, self-reliance, independence and autonomy, the value of property rights and ownership, progress, planning for the future, politeness, and decision-making.

Well fuck that. I'm so ashamed of my white privilege I'm going off to riot and loot (wanna join me reacharound).



Before anyone gives me shit about being racist this is from a black (is that racist? Sorry) organisation.

Apparently objective, linear thinking is bad. As is valuing hard work, and a work before play attitude. Not to mention that considering a family unit to have a father, OMG WTF Check you white privilege.
Quite frankly, when it gets to this I must admit I'm starting to get less sympathetic. Of course black lives matter TOO.

The page it general is reasonable but be careful of pushback when you start saying things like linear thinking and objectivity, delayed gratification and respect for authority are a manifestation of white privilege
