White privilege isn't about how good you are because you didn't vote for Trump. It'a about your inherent value system that leads you to pay white folks for shit you'd ask a black woman to do for FREE.
I just had to block a “ally” white woman who demanded i “explain” some shit to her about her faulty racial politics... Now while this isn’t new, my ‘aha’ moment is: she would like a black woman to process with her for “FREE” but I’d put good money on the fact that she has a white therapist or life coach...and not #ABlackLadyTherapist So you want a black woman to give you something for free that you’d have to pay a white woman to do.? Unless google is broken, that is exactly how privand white supremacy alive and well...liberal white women keep it propped up w/their amy-loving women’s marches & privileged feminism Interesting fact: every single one of my white clients has good racial politics, honors my boundaries, pays my fee without question They don't ask for FREE advice on how to solve their problems, they don't try to get me to explain race to them, they don't try to get me to lower my fee. I'm not the only black person they know or hire for that matter. About 2% of my clients have been white. The rest are people of color. Now, I have several hundred white clients who never pay but are always asking for more free advice and then hiring white coaches instead of me. This is how liberal racism works....it's about economics... How many black people or people of color do you do business with? How many black people, women do you admire but never buy their books or services, but constantly access their free shit? How many white folks do you hire that do the same exact thing? See....this is what racism looks like...it's not the flag burning or nazis that keep it alive. They actually have no real economic power, it's liberal whites who think they are above racism because they don't see it as an economic structure...they just feel like we're all on an equal playing field and their feelings are hurt when you don't explain shit to them. They're too busy taking racism personally as some personal failing they don't want to be guilty of... They don't really know that there's such a things as "Wipipo money" and Black people money... We constantly get paid less to do the same thing as our white counterparts.... And then cop an attitude when you refuse to give them what they want for free... or as I was told by a white teaching institution, your rates are too high, you're just interested in having things go your own way. And my response was, actually, all these white teachers have degress from bum-fuck, cheerleader university and zero credits. I have an ivy league degree, credits as long as your arm, experience raising money, producing shit that makes money...so i don't only"want things to go my way" I am a Black woman who knows her worth...you're the only one acting as if you don't how valuable I am and trying to get me to drink your koolaide... Stooooopid white lady, it's not about your feelings...it's about the economic game you're playing which is trying to eliminate me as a player and strangle my ability to live, eat and make a living because of the color of my skin... So fuck u, very much... I decline....
