Shit. Why don’t I just highlight the whole damned thing?
I don’t need to share my Angry White Man stories. It’s all in here. Only thing you didn’t tease out, and didn’t need to, was rape. It’s implied.
Powerful, potent, heartbreakingly true. White men do not realize the lies they labor under, what that costs them, or even beg the fundamental question of how the hell we got here.
If white males better understood how badly oppressed they are by the bullshit lies, I wonder how much that might change the conversation.
Not while those folks are fighting to preserve privilege that aren’t worth the polluted air on which they were written.
Excellent piece.
