[Chris Rock explaining white privilege:





Racism everywhere. Who’s the maddest people? White people.

Not y'all. Y'all all right.

You paid money to see me, we cool.

The feud is over. No, you watch the TV, watch Minutes.

You see white people pissed off, man. Man, the white man thinks he’s losing the country. You watch the news: “We’re losing everything. We’re fucking losing. ’‘Affirmative action, and illegal aliens…’'and “we’re fucking losing the country. ’'Losing? Shut the fuck up.

White people ain’t losing shit. If y'all losing, who’s winning? it ain’t us.

it ain’t us. Have you driven around this motherfucker? it ain’t us. Shit, there ain’t a white man in this roomthat would change places with me.

None of you would change places with me.And l’m rich!

That’s how good it is to be white.

There’s a white, one-legged busboy

in here right now…that won’t change places with my black ass.

He’s going, ’'No, man, l don’t wanna switch.I wanna ride this white thing out.

’'See where it takes me.”

That’s right,'cause when you white, the sky’s the limit.

When you black, the limit’s the sky!]

siddharthasmama:

oh god this is so good; so, so, good. he hits the nail on the head when he says no one would trade lives with him, even though he’s rich, because no matter what position you have in life as a white person, it is always better than existing while Black. It doesn’t mean every Black person is living miserably, impoverished or destitute just because they’re Black anymore than it means every white person is rich, healthy and happy. It just means being white will always serve you better than it does to be Black in this society, no matter the intersections of oppression you face.
