"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"I have no idea how to communicate 'perspective' to someone who lacks any at all. I try to explain it this way: most white people do not think to themselves, 'wow, I'm really glad my grandfather and his brother weren't lynched and their store looted then burned to the ground. Could you imagine the hole I'd have to dig myself out of if my parents and I all had to start from nothing?' No conservative white people likely ever think this. But the start we have makes a huge difference, in most cases by not having had something happen to us or earlier generations of our families.
When people experience difficulties in their lives, they can have a very difficult time seeing themselves as privileged. It's very difficult for most majority people to wrap their minds around how much worse their lives would be if they were a minority."
