Our Quote for the Day:
"Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life." - Sonia Sotomayor
Remember, it is our richness of experiences that makes as qualified individuals, not expertise you might pick up in a silly class taught by old white men based of his oppressive, patriarchal, Euro-centric ideas.
Remember to do your part everyday!
Make sure you tune in to Ellen, The View, Family Guy, Law and Order: SVU, NCIS and other programs that promote diversity in the workplace and inspire you to check your privilege! If you are able to, watch a show that focuses on a female protagonist. Extra points if she's a female POC.(YOU GO GIRL! LOL!)
If you play video games, make sure you're not buying into patriarchal tropes and objectifying women. If you are able to, play as a female protagonist. Extra points if it's a female POC. If you play multiplayer games, make sure to not play aggressively against females, as such behavior might be triggering.
Date a minority or transgender; you don't want to be a bigot! Love is Love. It knows no color, gender or species. And pursuit of love above all is the most admirable task, dedicating your life despite things like social approval and disease. You're on the right side of history!
Make sure to culturally enrich yourself daily by listening to the latest hip-hop and pop artists. If you're feeling daring, feel free to commute through the friendly neighborhoods of our minority equals in order to make new friends.
If you have guns, melt them! If you think your neighbor has guns, melt those too! If he's white, contact the authorities right away. Everyone knows whites commit the most handgun homicides, are responsible for countless national tragedies and can't be trusted with those dangerous weapons, better in the hands of minorities who'll need them to protect themselves from systematic oppression. (If we're lucky, maybe Obama will finally make a law saying crazy whites can own guns anymore, LOL, that silly amendment is so outdated).
Manage your catalog of Tumblr gifs and doors to use for debating purposes!
And remember, always remember: Question your privilege hourly!
Good fortune will favor you and you'll be accepted in our multicultural, progressive society free of hate, but only if you post MY PRIVILEGE HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY CHECKED in this thread.
