I am "biracial". I dont' believe in the theory of race but for the purpose of an American audience I will use the term. I was adopted and raised by a white conservative Republican family in the South.

I experienced a lot of racism as a child. I went to majority white private schools, summer camps and churches.

I have been pulled over by cops because I did not know how to drive properly. I can honestly say I was pulled over for all pretty legitimate reasons that come with being just young and unaware. I was given a few speeding tickets. None of the cops were ever mean to me because I have a very strange personal affect. They genuinely did not know how to react to me but they weren't threatened by it in away. If you can imagine how weird it is to read what I write. I come off weird in person too. It's not necessarily a bad weird just weird.

Anyway, I have experienced some privileges not only because of my visual proximity to whiteness but also other sociological factors. A lot of proximity to whiteness is proximity to money and power. The family I was adopted into has that to a degree. Because of the schools I went to a lot of my social circle is white and more on the financially comfortable side. I wouldn't say wealthy but they can avoid consequences if the need arises.

All of this is still not the kind of privilege that white people experience. There is some level of whiteness that can never be fully realized by any person of color because POC's are not seen as fragile. People of color might be seen as pretty. They might be seen as beautiful or gorgeous. They can never garner the level of protection that being seen as fragile can bring. They don't let rich white kids out of jail because they believe them innocent. They do it because to appear white is to appear fragile. There is in fact something intrinsic in many people of color to see their lack of melanin as something that makes them vulnerable. White people appear fragile. Have you ever seen a fair white child with blue eyes and blonde hair? More often than not they appear very fragile do they not? When D Angelo talks about white fragility I suppose it could be something they have internalized based on their appearance?

It is highly possible that in antiquity they recognized their bare skin was in fact a point of fragility. This I believe may be what caused them intially to over react. If you were fighting in a war and you had what you perceived was a slight weakness in your side from a wound. You would most likely overcompensate by being more vicious to protect the weakness.

This is what white privilege is built on. It is built on their own belief that they need an advantage of some kind.

Of course many of them deny it in public but as I've seen countless times white people are the agressors in many Karen videos which unintentionally outs them as believing in white privilege. You wouldn't behave that way if you thought there were going to be repurcussions for your actions. Which is white privilege.

Then they play the victim immediately afterward. It's an understood agreement they all have with each other. They are truly in fact afraid of people of color. They can plainly see with their eyes that melanin covers our bodies and protects us. They can plainly see we do not age as quickly and that we have physical agility. In their minds they are the victims and we are a threat that must be kept at bay. What we are witnessing over the past twenty years is (some) white people coming to the realization that we do not think exactly like them about physical attributes. We do not see a weakness and exploit it. It's not really how we operate but for some reason they are driven by this irrational fear from their ancestors that we are like that. We are all vunerable as humans but everyone reacts to that vulnerability in different ways. For white people they believe the best response to their own vulnerability is to attack before they are attacked. They really do only make up 10% of the global population. Globally they are an incredible minority so they use media and some threats of violence to stay in existence. They don't realize that people of color would let them exist peacefull whether they are a physically visible minority or not. It's almost like they suffer from paranoia.
