(6,278 posts)6. I'm glad this is here.
Now, I know that LOTS of people have me on "ignore", and I live with that.
But, it has astounded me that the "Check Your Privilege" post is dropping. I can only think that there are two types of people here.
1.) Those who don't need to take the quiz because they know the outcome.
2.) Those that don't want to take the quiz because they are sick and tired of being told about white privilege that they don't think they have.
I would think that in this day and time, with WHITE people jumping up and down about George Floyd, that they might be open to some education.
I think I will post an experiment and see what would happen.
