Back in February, Washington Post political reporter David Weigel shared a revealing exchange with a man selling merchandise at the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual event where the Republican Party bares its most primal instincts.
I love this, a deft explanation of an example of white male privilege- one of my favourite quotes (from someone else) - "God grant me the confidence of a middle aged white man" - that confidence stems from, among other things, the unspoken permissions they have to speak their truths.
Very insightful and astute. This needs to be said, read, and shared widely like bread. (Forgive me, it’s true, but the rhymes hard were to resist.)
Thank you
