White people arguing about racism and “white privilege”

My immediate reaction to it all

It’s okay though. When I’m oppressed for totally different reasons than race I can blame white people, and it’s not racist because they’re in power and I’m not.

As one of my dear friends would say - spelling and all via facebook - “DAS RACIST”

wait. so maybe i’m a little confused with what you’re tryna say here, but are you stating that it’s wrong for white people to admit to their white privilege but agree that it is wrong? i don’t necessarily see a problem with it - i mean, oppression is something that happened based on race, gender, religion, etc., and our admittance of being a part of the system that oppresses others can help us work against it, together.

and i don’t know if your argument of “when I’m oppressed for totally different reasons…I can blame white people…because they’re in power and I’m not,” can be based in race, but maybe other elements? i dunno #feelings

this is more me just being genuinely confused with what you’re trying to say with words/lots of gifs
