HOLY SHIT... This is what they want me to believe? Will Donald Trump put a stop to this shit? Kinda pissed because Sanders was going to legalize ma herb and Shillary got out scot free... If there is genuine evidence that Trump will put a stop to this bullshit, then I am all in. However, if he is going to be the most statist, egomaniacal, rethuglican ever, then I am simply not going to vote. What do /pol/?
And by the way, here are the top 10 for your pleasure in the following posts...
http://newsacred.org/2016/06/so-you-say-youve-got-white-privilege-now-what/
1. Take up minimal space during anti-racism dialogues and protests.Protests and anti-racism discussions should always center on the oppression experienced by people of color. If you are an ally who always has the microphone or the bullhorn, you’re taking up too much space.
2. Stop contributing to gentrification and calling it “urban development.”Many white allies feel too comfortable talking about white privilege without pushing for their residential communities to legislate against gentrification, which is like reverse white flight at the expense of a mass POC eviction notice.Are you living in a redlining district without calling out the displacement of people of color? Are you content with advocating for POC as long as you don’t have to live in their neighborhood?
3.
Listen when people call you on your microaggressions.Your intent to be anti-racist doesn’t necessarily mean you automatically fit the bill. If people call you on microaggressions, don’t argue—listen. If you knew a word or phrase was offensive, you probably wouldn’t have said it. Being an ally doesn’t mean you’re above being educated on racism.
4. Never invite POC to the table for the sake of claiming diversity.“Diversity” is now a buzzword and “diversity work” is a very profitable industry. Don’t invite POC to your events so you can say they personify diversity or to hit an organizational quota. Engage with diverse communities because you plan on being intentional about hearing our stories and letting us come to the table authentically.
5. Refrain from using your POC friends as your “urban dictionary.”If you are engaging in discussions about race, you won’t always understand cultural references. Your POC friends or colleagues are not your “urban dictionary.” (And yes, I’ve heard people ask me if they should look up words I’ve used in the urban dictionary.)You may have to do some research to participate in anti-racism work, and that’s okay. Just think; POC spend their entire lives learning about culture from a white supremacist perspective. A few minutes on Google won’t hurt you.
6. Stop lifting up non-confrontational POC as examples for what POC activism should be.Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man—but he wrote more than his “I Have a Dream” speech. Few white folks quote his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” to talk about King’s Legacy:“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice…”
History through a white lens immortalizes the “safe,” diluted parts of liberation in hopes of POC seeking future liberation in similar ways. This framework centers the comfort of white folks and disregards the complexity of processing and rebelling against oppression.
Here’s the thing—experiencing racism is a lot more uncomfortable than experiencing a radical response to it. If you’re uncomfortable with expressions of emotional pain by the oppressed, you may want to work harder at dismantling their oppression.

Why would I want to?
7. Call your friends, family and co-workers out on racism—even if a POC isn’t in the room.I’ve had plenty of friends tell me stories about times their family members, friends, or colleagues said something racist. I usually wonder why they are telling me when most of their stories don’t end with them confronting the racism they encountered.How do you confront racism when the spotlight isn’t on you? Does it take a protest or a speech for you to call out racism? Can you address the racism of the people you love most?
8. Understand that all anti-racism work doesn’t look the same and advocate accordingly.Sometimes anti-racism work is about Black folks. Sometimes anti-racism work is about the entire African Diaspora. Sometimes anti-racism work is about Asian American folks. Sometimes anti-racism work is about Southeast Asian immigrants.“People of color” is an umbrella term that doesn’t address the complexities of the many people who experience racism. Understand that POC don’t go to bed in one-size-fits-all pajamas; our struggles and our liberations require nuanced thinking and action.
9. Realize that all discussions about race aren’t for you. And be okay with it.Should black people say the “n” word to each other? Should Beyoncé express her pain by calling someone Becky? Some conversations aren’t for white folks. They are intraracial critiques that don’t require an ally’s opinion. An anti-racist ally is like a guest at a family dinner. You’re invited to the table, but you should know what conversations require your abstention.

HERE IS THE BEST ONE LOL - It is basically to the tune of, "you still fall short to the glory of the black man."
I seriously want to live somewhere where this shit isn't even a thing. Hopefully that isn't only North Korea.
10. Recognize that you’re still racist. No matter what.Sometimes, anti-racist allies talk in an “us vs. them” framework when they discuss race, with the “us” being POC and anti-racist allies and the “them” being racist people. That’s an oversimplification of centuries of racism, and it also avoids one simple truth.White people always benefit from institutionalized racism, no matter how anti-racist your ideologies may be. You can’t disconnect yourself completely from the racism from which you benefit, and recognizing that is a large step in rejecting white privilege.

I don't need to reject something that does not exist.
Second, most if not all of this sounds like sentiment and buzzwords pretending to be intelligent.

The fourth one is actually decent.
>Niggers calling nigger quotas racist
And not a single black person got employed ever again
So basically just avoid black people at all cost. Got it. Thanks, lady.

What the fuck?
Since when are "Muh feelings" more important than obeying order and the law?
Fuck that noise.
Change can happen radically (aka violently) or slowly and peacefully.
If POC want to seize power, they can't expect us to allow them to do so if they are going about it violently. Violence will be met with violence.
Their only option is to be patient and take it step by step unless they want a race war.
this is just a big hot wet dump. pure fucking poison from the jews
dont even read or acknowledge this shit

Can do.

But white privilege is a good thing that minorities should aspire to have.
