Catapultam Habeo: UNDERSTANDING PRIVILEGE:

weetz:

WHAT DOES A WHITE PERSON KNOW ABOUT BEING A POC?

WHAT DOES A CIS PERSON KNOW ABOUT BEING TRANS*?

WHAT DOES A MALE KNOW ABOUT BEING FEMALE?

WHAT DOES AN ABLE BODIED PERSON KNOW ABOUT BEING DISABLED?

WHAT DOES A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN THIN THEIR WHOLE LIFE KNOW ABOUT BEING FAT?

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE RHETORICAL NATURE OF THESE QUESTIONS, TAKE A FUCKING SEAT.

      Permutationofninjas:

What does a PoC know about being white?

What does a trans* person know about being cis?

What does a female know about being male?

What does a disabled person know about being able bodied?

What does a person who has been fat their whole life know about being thin?

If you do not understand the argumentative nature of these questions, I’ll be happy to calmly explain them.

    though there is a thing called emphasising, you don’t know sure, but you can at least TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
