I don't feel insulted at all. Sorry.

That is what we call Privilege.

With a capital P? It’s a proper noun?

That's the proper reaction to racism. Indifference, jokes, mockery, and ridicule. We had it right in the '90s. Hate loses all its power when it's made the butt of the joke.

Lol no we didn't, you can't just laugh off institutional prejudice. I mean sure, go ahead and ignore the redneck spouting racist bullshit on twitter for your own mental health, but the 90s didn't make any great steps against disproportionate policing and brutality based on race, education inequality, or socioeconomic inequality. Those aren't "ignore it and it'll go away" problems.

No, we didn't. Pretending that white supremacism would go away if we pretended it didn't exist has delivered the predictable outcome.
