Two Brothers Destroy The Myth Of White Privilege, And It Is Glorious

Brothers Chris and Joel Hayes recently made a YouTube video, debunking the concept of “white privilege” by demonstrating the double sided nature of the entire argument.

“I can yell out ‘black power’ to the top of my lungs,” Chris Hayes declared, adding that no one would question his exclamation. But when a white guy screams “white power,” he noted that trouble would surely follow.

They talked a little bit about their grandfather’s experience with racism but noted how ridiculous it is to hold white people today responsible for the actions of their ancestors.

Chris added that their 81-year-old father was born in 1934 and “went through some stuff with white people,” including having rocks thrown at him and his siblings and getting spat upon. His was a sharecropping family with no money.

 

“They actually had a reason not to like white people,” Chris said. “I don’t have a reason not to like white people! And my father didn’t grow up bitter and hate white people. And he didn’t teach us to hate white people.”

 

“So where did we get this thing about ‘white privilege’?” Chris continued, adding, “If I can say something and a white person can’t say something, it looks like I’m the one with the privilege. Hmm.”

Oh snap. #BlackLivesMatter isn’t going to like any of that.
