This is why the concept of weaponized white privilege shaming is dangerous
http://www.wesplain.com/privilege/white-...ality-tax/
It’s Time for White People to Pay for Privilege: The Equality Tax
"It’s irrefutable, white people are privileged. Recognition of this basic fact of life is not enough. It’s time to take action to level the economic playing field. At a time when PoC is still tremendously disadvantaged, despite the best efforts of affirmative action policies, something else must be done."
....
To even the playing field, the privileged should pay more. I don’t know how much more, but it must be more. Let’s start at 5% as if centuries of subjugation could ever be righted by such a minuscule percentage. Certainly, the privileged can stand to spare 5% with all of their economic advantages.
....

Shouldn't that be called the equity tax?

I know I had it much easier than Michael Jordan's boys did. These crackpot losers sit around all day complaining and the next thing you know a Nigerian immigrant already leaped over you on relative to income.

That is the most logically sound, foolproof argument I've ever heard. My opinion on the subject has been forever changed.

Sure, every upper-middle-class white liberal is more than welcome to pay this tax, hopefully through threat of government violence. Find the Dem rolls and start sending out tax notices. Next, lets put high density dormitories for illegal aliens, Syrian refugees, and poor minorities in good liberal neighborhoods.
(then watch these good white liberals go from zero to Democrat George Wallace in one day. )

You know what's funny... After it was published they updated it..
Quote:UPDATE (2/27): We have reached out to the author of this article. They have confirmed that if you were born white, but identify as a different race or otherkin, you would be void from paying the Equality Tax. You would just have to submit proof that this transformation is genuine.

Would it be wrong to mention your sister and that I can verify how well she knows your "family oral tradition"?
(OK. That was wrong. But I couldn't stop myself.)
