[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did she say that wasn't true, though? I'm white, and I know that white privilege is real. It must be effing exhausting to deal with endless Not All White Peopling when you're trying to get problems addressed.

And please don't start with how you have to be patient and let white people just eventually come around through gentle disagreement and whatnot. POC have been trying that since Jamestown, and it hasn't worked yet. It seems long past time to call BS BS. [/quote]

Sure, it’s real, but shutting people down repeatedly by playing that card rather than engaging in dialogue is itself bs. It’s a handy, easy way to shut people up when they have a different perspective.

And the “whi-“ comment came out of nowhere, in response to no one- it was pure speculation by someone that white Arlingtonians would dislike an article about the benefits of community college. What’s the point in liking a comment like that unless you just generally have a bone to pick with white people?[/quote]
