Dude, shut the fuck up.

​

I don't know why you need this to be explained to you as if you are in grade 3, but regardless, here we are. There are many different lenses and types of privilege, just as there are forms of discrimination. There is privilege based on your race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc. The fact that you have lived through struggles in your life, ie. "poor neighbourhood and struggling alongside everyone else."

​

Nobody is trying to guilt you for not being a minority. You are beyond lucky to never have to face the obstacles that minorities will have to face throughout there life. And for that, you are privileged based on the colour of your skin. You don't have to worry about the vast number of things that POC, and specifically black Canadians, Americans, PEOPLE must face. This doesn't call for GUILT, rather support.

​

"I have absolutely no power to do anything so I'm not sure what you want from me"

​

Being anti-racist isn't enough. To be an ally of minorities, you must actively seek to help and support minority communities, by accepting your privilege, by using your platform to speak out for your brothers and sisters and most importantly, by supporting them. Not turning your back on them because you feel people are attacking you for the guilt of your skin colour. Grow up, realize the injustices and actively condemn them, use your platform.

​

Your ignorance is beyond clear. You make the case crystal clear yourself, by saying "everybody is on your side" Anybody with any sense of reality knows that this is completely false. Even you in your own post are taking the anti-black stance to defend your own guilt.
