According to whiteness, “freedom” means “white people do whatever they want without regard for people of color” and anything short of that is seen as insufferable oppression by “PC police”. So when people of color raise an issue of appropriation, protocol, cultural respect, acknowledgment of historical realities, white people lash out in that uptight venomous defensive way of theirs, at the mere prospect of being even symbolically hindered from taking what they want, when they want it, as freely as they want. Because that’s the whole point of whiteness.
Knowing Coves | okay, first the whole black people should stay away from rock thing, now this
I think an important addition to this is that the whole point of whiteness is not only to take freely, openly, and obliviously, but also to hold on to that shit as tight as possible.

Or, as danielextra succinctly stated, “Being deprived of the freedom to oppress is not the same as being oppressed.”
