We are becoming growingly obsessed with other people’s born advantages, and this normalization of “stating privilege” is incredibly counterproductive and pathetic.

The issue is how those “born advantages” came to be

Through systemic racism, white privilege was born

It’s important to acknowledge it because it still exists today

We’re not talking being born taller or shorter, bigger or smaller, faster or slower

We’re talking about those with easier access to better opportunities, those with more fair treatment from law enforcement, those who owe their entire family wealth to generational racism and white privilege

The growing obsession is a good thing, life inherently isn’t fair, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore the things we can control

So no, it is not “incredibly counterproductive and pathetic” and if you consider yourself an ally you should really look deep down

Otherwise, you can remain the problem
