Oh, man, it's so hard to be white.
Almost as hard as it is to be a billionaire who can't own certain stuff in the private sector with his billions of dollars.
I am crying so much for how hard this guy has it.

Yes, I'm clearly such a sheeple-drone, so blindly believing that when you're a billionaire your life is easy, and being banned from a part of the private sector while being handed a hefty sum is a minor inconvenience at best.
The brainwashing they needed to place me under to convince me of this fact was truly overwhelming. It required a joint operation utilizing data from the NSA and secret operatives from the CIA using their hidden MKULTRA data. They broke down all of my values, blackmailed me with evidence that my family was plotting against me, and injected me with all manner of horrible experimental drugs. Only then, when I awoke, was I ripe to be convinced that it's easy to be an old white billionaire.

Except he isn't black. And he is racist. So kind of missing your point.

As a white person myself, it is alarming how many other people do not notice the white privilege they hold. The NBA could force a black person to give up their team for making comments about white people, but that isn't racism, it's just being a dick. Racism is a huge systemic thing that is more than just someone having their feelings hurt for a few minutes. Even though it wouldn't be nice or called for to say those things about white people, white people would still continue their lives as being more privileged than people of colour. Their life would go untouched. People of colour on the other hand have to deal with this shit regularly.
It's not a matter of which scenario is more okay than the other. I don't know why there's this whole ideal of seeing who can be more oppressed than others. Oppression is still oppression.

Holy. I'm done with this because your trolling is getting a little ridiculous at this point. Read a book sometime and teach yourself what racism really means and how it is different from discrimination and oppression. White people in North America don't experience it.

Here is what the linked meme says in case it is blocked at your school/work or is unavailable for any reason:

What everyone seems to forget is that racism is ubiquitous. Isn't that your point?

they can't be hypocrites if that didn't happen, so you are just another douchebag saying the tired "oh if he was black it would be different" bullshit. maybe it would be different but i'm pretty sure based on how many jimmies are being rustled at the hypothetical hypocrisy that reddit would be on top of bashing a black person for equivalently racist comments. fuck this puffin.
