re: Is white privilege a real thing?

That's fair. Tyrion Lannister once said "never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Clothe yourself in it, armor yourself with it, and it can never be used to hurt you again." People can only hurt you if you let them. You must have shame to be shamed.

Only those who are ashamed of being a coonass can be offended by being called a coonass. If you take pride in who you are, no epithet can hurt you because you refuse to give it power over you.

I am a coonass. I am what you say I am. I simply don't give a f&$k. I know who I am, and no a-hole calling me names will ever change that. I refuse to give them the satisfaction or allow them to have any power over me. I would not want to ban their hateful speach. I want their bigotry out in the open. If they want to embaress themselves with their intolerance, let them.
