5. I hear white people whining about this.

“Oh, white People are just sooo bad” —then with some anecdotal story about how someone rejected them because the were white in some form or another. It’s whining in the true sense of the word, immature, bratty, impatient, drawing conclusions with poor information because with poor information you don’t have be responsible in the world of white privilege.

I quit listening to a favorite doctor of mine who does Facebook live casts because while he’s not white—he’s the son of Indian immigrants, he balances his show with two “conservatives” viewpoints. More libertarian when you listen too them, call themselves “socially liberal”. Both white guys, actually I think one is Latino, who are whiny when Whiteness is brought up, and on this show—it’s rarely brought up, apparently being too divisive for a medical show. Watching the comments, I see his show attracts the same kind of whiteness that doesn’t want to be responsible for Whiteness. It lessens the message this guy was trying to make, which was to advance and improve healthcare, bu using the people who provide it to become interactive.

In his struggle to “not be politically correct’, he became complicit in white supremacy.
