A white woman is saying that there is a side to “White Privilege” that is rarely discussed. That abuse can come to anyone of any color as White privilege. This is the home I grew up in.How do you tell someone you were abused, when you grew up in a house that looks like this? Safe neighborhood, good school system.I never once had the lights cut off, or went without food on the table. My family vacationed to Florida every year. We owned a lake house up in northern Wisconsin. My Dad owned a business & building just up the street. Abuse? Yeah, right.You’re just “white privilege” Shay. You know what?You’re right, I am white privilege. My parents had the privilege of abusing us, and no one would suspect a thing. I ran away countless times as a child.Every neighboring house on this street remembers this. Yet they always brought me back home. Saying, “There’s that naughty girl Shannon running away again.”My constant escapism and ability to sneak out was a running joke with all my neighbors (no pun intended).
Yeah how do you think all those little white girls who are black and brown owned and tortured feel knowing the entire world is debating her existence because they feel she is the privileged oppressor and her torturers are being put on pedistals? That’s reality of modern day slavery it’s what actual slaves in the modern countries face every day.
