I Believe… [Gift-Wrapped Privilege]

By Don Hall

…that a weaponized social media is only effective when you give a fuck what 10 percent of people think of you. Reputation is a double-edged sword.

…that the goal should be to treat people as people rather than political abstractions.

…that if you believe in cancelling Megyn Kelly for defending blackface then you should believe that Kimmel and Fallon should be canceled for wearing it. Cancel culture is highly partisan but hypocrisy and double standards are universal.

…that as a white man with privilege but no power, you can have it. I’ll even put it in one of those nice Amazon gift bags for you.

…that when I watch a panther hunt and eat a zebra or something, I suddenly feel less guilty about the breakfast sausage I’m enjoying.
