Princeton Professor Calls Out ‘White Liberal’ MSNBC Host’s ‘Economic Anxiety’ Lie to Her Face
‘I don’t believe that…And you don’t believe it either!’
We have to investigate the ways in which all of us, regardless of race or gender, have been conditioned to uphold white male supremacy. We are expected to support white male supremacy in order to get a promotion, to be respected by our peers, for our children to succeed in school.
We must ask ourselves what we are willing to give up in order to be free. We must question what we value as individuals and as a society.
Leadership should not look like one race or gender; power shouldn’t either. We must look at how our votes, our money, and our individual privilege are tied to making sure that white men remain in power over us.
