Plight Of The Wealthy White Man
The Last People You Need To Worry About.
Let’s Face It
If you’re not a white man — you’re not a white man! People want to lament white man woes without acknowledging that they are not a white man and will not be given even half of the attention and sympathy that a white man can be drenched in from the public; however unworthy they are of pity.
Even the “liberal” will show there is a barrier or line they do not cross because they can’t see the other side, where Black people and people of color reside. That’s why many of us repeatedly state that being anti-Trump is not the same as being antiracist because there are levels to racism in this country, from slurs to discrimination in the workplace to laws that seek to strip rights away from marginalized communities.
White people have repeatedly let us down over generations, because their “assistance” and allyship is toward some nefarious “white enemy of equality” that exists outside of them. They don’t bring that energy to the enemy in their mirror every morning. So when the time comes that, through actions or words, they are brought face to face with their enemy selves, they retreat back into their privileged shield and refuse to acknowledge their failings.
