I’ve never sat in a store for hours without purchasing anything. I don’t go into McD’s while traveling and use their restrooms without buying SOMETHING. I figure I owe them the courtesy. And if a store owner asks me to leave, which is rare...I leave without arguing. Because it is their store & their property.
I’ve just described how white privilege has worked for me for 60 years. From what I’ve seen, blacks who accept the terms of ‘white privilege’ - self-control - are then treated as if they have white privilege too.
My brown Filipina wife also has lived by those rules of ‘white privilege’, and she is treated with respect.
Maybe ‘white privilege’ is just what happens when one obeys the Golden Rule. Not the White Rule, or the Black Rule, but the Golden Rule:
“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” - Matt 7:12
You just hit the nail on the head...”White privilege EQUALS SELF CONTROL”....I’m stealing that for my new tagline, if that’s ok with you...
