“5 Things White People Should Practice Daily”
Anyone who can write or publish something like this is a bloody racist.
This is absolutely the stupidest thing I have read during this whole stupid GF debacle.
I am not giving up my Privilege. It’s MY Privilege, and you can’t have it.
Good one. My first thought was “Brush your teeth”.
