Three weeks ago I processed the Capitol insurrection with my high school students. Rallying our inquiry skills, we analyzed the images of that historic day, images of white men storming through the Capitol, fearless and with no forces to stop them. “This,” I said, “is white supremacy, this is white privilege. It can be hard to pinpoint, but when we see, it, we know it.”
Across our Zoom screen, they affirmed, with nods, thumbs-ups, and emojis of anger and frustration. Fast-forward two weeks as we analyzed images from the inauguration, asking again, “What do we see?” We saw diversity, creativity and humanity, and a nation embracing all of this and more. On the day of the inauguration, Bernie Sanders was barely on our radar. The next day, he was everywhere.
“What do we see?” I asked again. We’ve been studying diversity and discrimination in the United States; my students were ready. What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire.

And there, across all of our news and social media feeds, was Bernie: Bernie memes, Bernie sweatshirts, endless love for Bernie. I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.

... The inauguration of an old rich white man, who we've all been told is the bane of democrats' existence.
So now a puffy jacket is a uniform of white privilege?
“So now a puffy jacket is a uniform of white privilege?”

And I wonder whether he was wearing a puffy shirt under that jacket.
Did I miss the part on 1/6 when Whites were lynching Negroes?
I think that standard's been set:
Id bet dollars toi donuts at the heart of this is a woman with daddy issues seeking attention.
I see a bunch of dumb white people hoping to be the last item on the menu.
“So now a puffy jacket is a uniform of white privilege?”
No. Home made mittens. Only rich old white men wear home made mittens. It’s a privilege. Absolutely no one else ever wears them.
“This,” I said, “is white supremacy, this is white privilege. It can be hard to pinpoint, but when we see, it, we know it.”
That is ridiculous. Was it “white privilege” when Antifa and BLM were burning down cities and we saw “ images of white men storming through the Capitol, fearless and with no forces to stop them.”? Just shut up you dingy woke moron. You look, but don’t see. Your hatred of your own race is based on ignorance and wanting approval from the woke mob. THAT is the mob, not a group of patriots who are fighting for your freedom.
And unless she gives up her job to a noble minority the author is benefiting from white privilege
Is that a kale smoothie? Barf,hurl, ralph.
Gee, when mobs burned down parts of Minneapolis, and Portland, including police stations, I do not recall anyone saying it was Leftist privilege (in the mainstream).
This "teacher's" wiriting demonstrates she has an IQ of about 70. She probably talks like that too, letting everyone she encounters know how smart she thinks she is.
I thought the puffy jacket was standard for gangs so police could not tell if they were carrying a weapon.
I believe that says it all. Spit.
Crazy Bernie should know; he has become very wealthy living off of Other Peoples Money. The only job he has ever had was a Pornography Author.
