    It used to just mean saying/doing something from the place of ignorance or privilege of being white

    And what did you think that was rooted in?

      Being ignorant of some issue a non-white person might have doesn’t make you a white supremacist.

        doesn’t make you a white supremacist.

        The fact that you feel personally attacked as soon as somebody used the term white supremacism says… what? You can take a shot at answering that… or I could answer it for you if it makes it easier. I assure you it will be perfectly painless.

        Being ignorant of some issue a non-white person might

        And what kind of people has been enforcing this ignorance all this time? Maybe the same kind of people you’ll find in Rittenhouse’s YT rec-list?

          I didn’t feel attacked though, at least not until right now where you’re clearly accusing me of being a white supremacist?? Where do you get off doing that to somebody you’ve never even spoken to before?

          When I say something stupid and have it pointed out to me that it’s coming from a perspective of privilege, I realize my fault and try to do better. Believe it or not, nobody is perfect, and me not knowing literally every way I might have it better than somebody else doesn’t suddenly make me believe white people are the superior race.

          You can take a shot at answering that… or I could answer it for you if it makes it easier.

          But thanks for the offer, you self righteous asshole. Fuck off.
