Tim Wise on White Privilege

And this, my friends, is what white privilege is all about. The ability to threaten others, to engage in violent and incendiary rhetoric without consequence, to be viewed as patriotic and normal no matter what you do, and never to be feared and despised as people of color would be, if they tried to get away with half the shit we do, on a daily basis.Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black

    I meant to comment the other day when I actually went and read it. My brain’s not properly connected lately.

    It’s a pretty awesome article, but unfortunately, we already know the answer to what happens when Black people protest – the police bring out the water cannons.
