White privilege is not having to deal with the arduous process of learning love yourself and your people because you’ve been brainwashed to be ashamed of your own skin. Your own hair.

Black Is Beautiful
That’s right, from now on if your followers hurl racism after reblogging one of our posts from you, we are coming at your neck. We are calling you out. You wanna be an ally? Following the blog isn’t enough.

White Privilege is being able to date a plus size white woman without dealing with people saying “Why do black guys go for the fat white girls?”
White men have been with plus size white women for quite a while, and black men have been with plus size black women for quite a while… but black men and big white women when inter-racial relationships are becoming more acceptable and,...

Thank you, I’m happy I excite you in the way that exotic fruit and animals do.
White privilege is believing that you get to name people of color whatever you want to, and then talking them down from believing you don’t recognize their humanity.

White privilege is never having to skip over the beauty section of a magazine because they haven’t thought to include your hair texture or skin tone in their “358 Hot Looks for Spring.”

i just realized that some vegans know more about the ins and outs of the felines that they house than black people’s comfort levels in conversations.

White Privilege is the fact we call it white privilege instead of “The oppression of people of colour”.
