Yeah, white people suffer from poverty. I’m white and grew up in a trailer park. I make six figures now and my career path has been propped up by people who look like me giving my promotions and cops who look like me letting me off with warnings when I was a kid.
Brown folks suffer much more from generational poverty, DA and judicial “discretion”, etc. It’s just what it is. A rising tide that brings up our most oppressed (brown folk) is going to raise us all (poor white folk).
Be an ally y’all.

Ok. Accepting your privilege doesn’t mean being burdened by guilt. Chill, y’all.
Privilege is: if when you are playing monopoly and when your fellow player gets to pull from community chest they pull 1 card. You get to pull 2 cards.
Doesn’t mean you won’t ever go to jail. But you are twice as likely to have a get out of jail free card. It means you are more likely to have the judge find in your favor and award you $400.
It means you were more likely, not certain, to start the game owning 3 rail roads. Meanwhile your homie is born on Baltic Ave.
Accepting your privilege is not accepting guilt it’s accepting power. You are not responsible for the rules - but you are responsible for your behavior within their context.
For example: Are you in charge of hiring? If so, does the diversity of your staff reflect that of your community and customer base? Will you call an applicant if you are unsure how to pronounce their ethnic name? Are there women who would celebrate you as a mentor?
Again, y’all - be an ally.
Again, and slowly - advocating for the well being of others takes absolutely fucking nothing from your own personal well being and will in fact enrich your life.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Now get the fuck out of my mentions.

You may not know this but there are poor brown people on the other side of the world we may need to kill.
Unfortunately, killing those poor brown people is more important that taking care of our own poor brown people.

I didn't know you have to pay $500 or more to call an ambulance for an emergency. It's free in my country
