I'm not going to pick out specific parts of this passage cuz I think it's good to have it intact. But the faulty logic here is blatant. You can't on the one hand, decry racism, and on the other hand, embrace white privilege. You can't break down the master's house with the master's tools. And as long as you're insistent on the notion that you can use your own white privilege to combat, well, white privilege? You're gonna continue to end up sounding confused, contradictory and, well, racist, to the people whose struggle you claim to identify with. This passage is actually the essence of the liberal white racism that zewari was talking about in the first place.
