it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

White people reading this, you’re gonna feel at first indignant or ‘that’s not true’ about this, or maybe guilty, but this is the truth. You cannot control being white or having white privilege. While your trauma and struggles and oppression are harmful, painful, and damaging, you do not have the extra layer of oppression that not being of European origin gives you and you do have these privileges. 

Take that moment to feel the guilt and indignity and then set it aside. They aren’t helpful or useful, not for yourself, and not for anyone else. It’s a painful truth, but it’s one you cannot afford to ignore if you want to be an ally to others in your community.

Artist removes 1 inch off the peak of England’s highest mountain; Brits want their inch back.

It is still England’s highest mountain, but Scafell Pike is ever so slightly smaller now after an artist stole the top inch of the summit to display in a gallery.

Oscar Santillan, 34, was accused of vandalism after removing the stone pinnacle of the 3,209ft Lake District peak for an exhibition in London.
