Happy birthday, Melody!

my suggestion works for whatever reason you don’t have a permenent place. I rotated about three different places for a few monthes

I think you’re right about that. If it happens to be the case that I initially don’t have any place to stay at, though, I wonder what will happen when I straight-up tell my father, “I don’t have any apartment/dorm/co-op to stay at; I’ll couch-surf instead.” Maybe I’ll just have to bluntly tell him the reason for wanting to move out: that I want to get away from him so I can live as my female safe without the fear of his anger. But that sounds too risky. Let’s just see what happens.

@cloudiah, you sound like a really good friend. Can you bring your friend a stuffie kitty, or are those not safe enough? My cat is snooty and won’t allow me to film anything but his butt, and no one wants to see that.

I’ll grant you that a LOT of white folks confuse white privilege with the general usage of “privilege” (which has historically referred to class), and assume that white + poor can’t possibly add up to any kind of privilege. It’s a very common misunderstanding, especially when someone is encountering the concept of white privilege for the first time. Fun fact, though: the fact that it’s common for people to get defensive doesn’t mean they’re correct to do so.

You know, there’s reasons to why some people can get “defensive” when you talk about “white privilege”.
There’s places in France, I grew up in one of them, where being white means living in a place where people hate you and want to hurt you just because you’re white. Places where you see whites being insulted, slapped or lynched by non-whites regularly and where whites try to avoid problems by looking down, by trying to be invisible as much as possible, by converting themselves to Islam, by trying to not look like too much “French”, by closing their mouths shut.
These people have reasons to be a little bit “defensive”, because their lives is all about “defense” and avoiding troubles and every thing that liberals promoted, every concept, every campaign has been about condoning and enabling the hate against them. Anti-racism, “France’s colonial unconscious”, the repentance,… It has always meant for them more aggressions, more fear, more hate.
And I’m pretty sure that these people exist also in U.S.

It’s one thing to look the other way when these people are insulted, hit and killed just because they’re white because “whites can’t be oppressed”, it’s one thing to refuse them any help, any consideration, because being insulted and beaten on an everyday basis isn’t “systemic”, isn’t “institutionalized” and that everything that happen to whites in these kinds of place “isn’t a thing” but it’s another thing to say to these people that the really important thing is that they need to acknowledge their “white privilege”, not only they need to close their mouths shut about everything non-whites can do to them, they also need to “acknowledge” that it’s their own fault, that it’s all because they’re too “entitled”, because their white skin give them unearned privileges.
One can think that it’s a little bit too much to ask.

Wasn’t he pretending to be Algerian-French rather than white at some point? He seems to keep forgetting that.

Because of the name I hear it as bzz, like a fly.

Wait.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were fabricated by the Russian secret police some time between 1897 and 1902. The October Revolution didn’t happen until 1917.

That was the Imperial Tzarist state, not the socialists. And it doesn’t help your case that these were then promoted by both Henry Ford and Adolf Hitler, who were rabidly anti-communist as well as antisemitic. Granted, Stalin was also a shit-stain of the highest order and certainly no better in his treatment of the Jewish people, but to point at socialism as the driver of antisemitism is pants-on-head wrong.

There was Bernard Lazare before that and before that the famous Edouard Drumont’s “la France juive” which is the one who really popularized the term “antisemite” and had a great influence among French socialists circles and even before that Karl marx talked about “emancipating ourself from Jewish materialist spirit”.
Socialists had a great role in developing antisemitism at the end of the 19th century, the only difference between socialist antisemitism of this era and the anti-white propaganda of their successors is that there was a debate between socialists to know if antisemitism was good or not, vigurous debates, some became kind of proto-fascists , other became “Dreyfusards”, when the successors of the socialists are just openly, undiscutably anti-white for the same reasons a socialist of the 19th could have blamed the jews for their materialism, their racism, their refusal to leave their community to be part of the human family,..

Wait, I thought I heard something…nah, it’s just a mosquito.

If you re-read carefully my post, you’ll see that I don’t refer myself as being white.

I personally prefer that you forget that I’ve mentioned my origins before you accuse me of dancing dabkeh or listen Amr Diab, things particularly related to Algeria, you know,… thanks.

Not sure if it’s been posted yet, but have you mob seen the latest A Softer World comic?

Hmm. Try this?
