Questioning "Privilege"

We've seen many plain examples of microaggressions like mansplaining, heteronormativity, ableism, etcetera. And yet white supremacists are in denial about normalizing white leadership and call it "privilege" like it falls from the sky, as if given by the divine and as if benefiting is not participating, or that participating is not perpetuating. White liberals like to brandish the word implicitly dignifying their status as something they did not ask for, citing the concept of privilege itself implies unearned advantages. However, these "privileges" are in fact hard won, bloody, and murderous.  And benefitting from them is a matter of choice because there is agency that sustains a system or dismantles it.  

MLK said evil is great at organizing, I think perhaps because organizing work puts organizers at the center. There really is wisdom in all religions that got lost in ours, which is prophetic work, whose aim is cultural transformation, not just political change, personal moral convictions or religious organizing.  Meanwhile many other countries in the world have citizens much better off than Americans or white people in terms of these "privileges" spoken of. In fact, most of these "privileges" spoken of are only human rights and treatment to common decency which is not a problem in even the newest democracies in the wold.  But it is by virtue of them being withheld from other Americans, that white liberals cite their "privilege", which is horrifically despicable.

The USA is the largest debtor nation in the world with about US$ 19 Trillion in debt. And not known to most is that the fee for renunciation of US citizenship has increased 400x to $2,350, the highest in the world. It's not surprising. The best way to dismantle America is to abandon the unsustainable idea.

"There is no white." Rev. Jacqueline Duhart

There are only Americans who are like ghosts who have lost their connection to earth, they have turned their backs on their historical roots, subjective lens, context, location, and lineage, lest they might find they have an ethnicity.
