White privilege is the reason Black folks come in so many different shades. White men raping my enslaved ancestors is the epitome of white male privilege. And the white women who stood by and watched it happen, well...

Sleeping with a person of color or having kids with a person of color does NOT change your white privilege.

Point taken. I think sometimes we don't realize we can alienate allies with broad condemnations.

I think it's important to realise that there was a huge price paid by others when many white women affirmed the abuse, sadism and cruelty perpetuated by the white men in their lives.

Absolutely. No one gets a free pass and no one knows what path brought them here

Who doesn't realize? Are you saying that Black people alienate white supporters by speaking the truth?

We can't just call ourselves allies. We need to prove it by hearing what the people we claim to support are saying, then learn from it, and then act on it. Consistently. And keep working on it.

What?! If you're actually saying what that sounds like, a sure sign of white privilege (and fragility) is asking others to temper their language to avoid alienating people who could not be alienated if they truly were allies.

If you can be so easily alienated because you choose to be offended by a Black person's accurate critique of historical events, you were never an ally to begin with. Center yourself on that.
