The question you have to ask yourself, though, is this: Do I want to scold white people for their privilege, or do I want to get them on my side to fix it? In my experience, rubbing their noses in it is going to set people’s minds against you.

I think you are making the same mistake they do. You can’t very well get someone to help fix a problem if you don’t let them know the problem exists. Just discussing or explaining white privilege isn’t the same as scolding someone about it. The folks who take it that way are going to take it that way no matter what terms we use, because they don’t want to admit it exists.

I’m partial to this version:

Not only do I miss nothing from Windows, but also the decisions MS has made each and every year since I dumped them has only increased my conviction that I made the right move in doing so. Not one time have I read a MS/Windows headline and felt I was somehow missing out on anything I would ever want to be a part of.

I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.

A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.

They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.
