yumadwhiteboy:

I would just like to thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I’m sure you have better things to do than Q&A and I appreciate the fact that you did so anyway when you’re not at all obligated to. Anyway, I think I’m beganing to get a better grasp on the idea of privilege (the mainstream culture does a scary good job keeping us white males in the dark about how privileged we really are). And I think I’ve come to realize the important thing to do isn’t to split hairs over semantics and who said what to who, but to have general empathy and awareness towards others. Again, thank you.

Can… can someone translate this for me? It seems to be some sort of letter from someone on Tumblr…thanking me for explaining something… and acknowledging that they’re learning… I’m confused because I don’t see the part where I get called a bitch??? And I think the phrase “Ok, but {my experience/my black friend/the statistics say that I’m right}” got cut off somewhere?

Like straight up dude, this is refreshing. Keep up the self-examination and the learning and the Googling.  You’re a cool guy.

Reblogging for holy crap, SOMEONE LEARNED ON THE INTERNETS o_o
