White privilege is thinking that affirmative action is an unfair advantage, instead of keeping the qualified from being unfairly disadvantaged or throwing out a qualified applicant because their name sounded to African American.
You still have so much life ahead of you. So many trips to take, places to see, books to read, people to meet, and adventures to go on. There’s still a chance to live the life of your dreams.
non-black people of color have privilege in not being black. they just don't have white privilege. a lot of them will step on black people, even while wearing the same shade of fenty, just to sniff access to whiteness. THAT is why POC solidarity is fictional.

Y’all rly think that black women’s “hyper-independence” (generally speaking) is self imposed & that narrative is SO tired. Like… all these black women out here asking for help & expressing their needs, receiving nothing. That is what breeds hyper-independence. Address that.
