any coherent concept of privilege requires a shared understanding of ethnic, gender, and class stratification/struggle

remember how people were saying that it was going to be really funny when some of these social justice types enter the workforce?

behold!

it's really funny that this actually happened. why someone would think talking about pansexuals and demigirls in a middle school spanish class is mystifying , but it is very funny

here is the form in question, filled out:

and just for GBS, I made a clean version so all of us can fill out our privileges:

how else will kids learn to check themselves and be humble?

"My son wears a hoodie every single day to school. He covers his head faithfully and rarely hears friends say hello as we walk inside or adults saying good morning as he tends to be lost in his own world, muffled by the hoodie around his ears.
My son would do anything for his little sister and happily get her candy. He would even question any adult questioning him for no reason- as we have taught him to stand up for himself, speak out for what is right, and question authority. He would run from strangers. He would feel safe with a police officer.
I think.
My son, however, can do all of these things without fear. He is white. He �belongs� in that suburb. He looks like every other white kid in the area and a �neighborhood watch captain� would easily dismiss his walking down the street as a normal, every day occurrence. As would a police officer. As would the community.
As a white mother to a white son, I�ve never had to explain to him what he should and should not do when confronted by police. I�ve never had to talk with him about how the world views him or prayed he wouldn�t be next.

..

I have no right to send my son to school tomorrow morning in his hoodie without fear, when so many other mothers will be sending their sons off wondering if they will ever come home."

jfc I can't imagine being raised by such a parent. It's like one of those viral fb posts you see where a mother is really happy about publicly shaming her young son over his sexism. Like I get that these social issues are important but don't take it out on your 10 year old please.

kid looks like a tool

and his mother is using it extensively
