Truly, the most shocking thing about white privilege is not white people are so ensconced in it, that they have no idea they have it.
Things like yesterday's trending on Twitter hashtag "heterosexual pride day" is just another example of straight white Christians trying to pretend they're being ignored, slighted, marginalized, hated on, and that somehow their rights are in jeopardy, simply because those who never had the same rights they've always had and taken for granted are finally being given to them.
This is white privilege at its finest and simply thinly veiled bigotry and hate for something they wish to keep below them.
I don't get it.
Believe what you wish, Christians and Muslims alike. But I ask you, how is someone else being who they are or doing what they wish hurting you or preventing you from someday meeting your God? Or did your God call you up one night and ask you to enforce his law?
If so, allow me to suggest not wearing clothing woven from two types of fabric when you come to enforce. And certainly don't do it on the Sabbath.
