So my ADHD brain read this differently. I thought the article was going to be about how whiteness was the consolation prize. As in the consolation prize for agreeing to identify as white and oppress others was literally the privilege of whiteness. I’m glad that you wrote this article but from a different angle than I was expecting.

It needs to be said that as hard as white people go on the whole “we are superior”thing. They sure have done every conceivable thing imaginable to make sure we never get a chance to figure out if this is actually the case in a fair and equal environment. Hmm it’s almost like you kick the person in the foot before you both start running because you can objectively see your opponent is going to win.
