(68,868 posts)I mean, yeah I know as a white guy some people of color are going to be mistrustful, resentful due to the roughly half-century of abuse their ancestors have experienced. I'd probably feel the same way.
But guess what effect that has on my life? Zero. It's not like I'm gonna crawl into a fetal position because some random person who doesn't know me and has no influence over my life thinks poorly of my race.
Because I'm white, so that stuff doesn't affect me in a real way, unlike the way it denies opportunities and injured black people in this country. Call it privilege, or just not being subject to the same racism and discrimination black folks are subject to. Same difference.
So if some black celebrity wants to talk shit about white people, big effing deal.
