We don’t live in Blackland or Whiteland.

This comment was by Ashley in reference to the post – What a BuzzFeed Quiz Taught Me About Privilege
That quiz is funny and highlights something people are desperately trying to cling onto. People want to hang on and push this notion of “privilege” because they don’t quite feel the love of themselves on a deeper level so they want it justified by societies standards and be excited when they can claim “privilege.”
“Oh look, this person and that person accepts me and that makes me privilege!” Pretty sad. Not saying it doesn’t exist but you do realize that putting white or black on the voting ballot your vote only counts for three-fourths. In my opinion, we all getting screwed. People need to realize that society’s opinion is only a reflection of the mass consciousness hidden insecurities, like a mirror of our collective subconscious.
Everyone is beautiful no matter what. When you realize that white and black is an illusion because there is no such thing as Blackland or Whiteland , your mind opens and the mental programming that has been pressed upon us for ages begins to crumble. One love my friends, times they are changing
