Guys guys guys! I figured it out. So, you know how christians will thank God for the gifts that we have been given. And then someone asks, what gifts? You worked for the food on your table and the roof over your head? To which the pious christian replies yes but who gave me the health and skills with which i could do the work? THAT IS WHAT WHITE PRIVILEGE IS. Not that you didnt work for it. But realizing that you were given more materials than others with less ideal starting points. So what white privilege? I worked for what i eat? Yes, but how did you get the education, the nights of sleep unbroken by gunshots, the never fading confidence in your ability to succeed, the belief that when you are faced with injustice you can trust the authorities to rectify, that helped you work for the food you earned? Ha. Checkmate. #readingbonhoefferwhenalightbulbcameon
