February 1, 20214 yr Bernie memes taking attention away from women/POC = privilege https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/amp/S-F-high-school-students-get-a-lesson-in-subtle-15909700.php Bernie’s mittens: A lesson for S.F. high school students in subtle white privilege By Ingrid Seyer-Ochi | on February 1, 2021 Quote I mean in no way to overstate the parallels. Sen. Sanders is no white supremacist insurrectionist. But he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel. "When you see privilege, you know it,” I’d told them weeks before. Yet, when they saw Sen. Bernie Sanders manifesting privilege, when seemingly no one else did, I struggled to explain that disparity. I am beyond puzzled as to why so many are loving the images of Bernie and his gloves. Sweet, yes, the gloves, knit by an educator. So "Bernie.” Not so sweet? The blindness I see, of so many (Bernie included), to the privileges Bernie represents. I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie. Unless those same folk had privilege. Which they don’t.

Obviously people in the crowd don't get dressed up for it. She began the piece by talking about the women's outfits and their significance and that a white man stole the thunder.

Why would random working class people be on stage at a Presidential Inauguration?

I'm just guessing at what she meant, but I think she's suggesting that a white man can get away with dressing like that and become a beloved meme, but a woman or POC who were a politician invited to be on stage couldn't get away with that. She cited class privilege as well. 🤷♂️

February 1, 20214 yr White people and :shuffles deck: keeping dogs inside their home. https://areomagazine.com/2021/02/01/critical-race-theory-is-coming-for-the-dogs-katja-guenthers-the-lives-and-deaths-of-shelter-animals/ Quote ...in her recent book The Lives and Deaths of Shelter Animals, Katja Guenther claims that dogs are being killed because of "capitalism, anthroparchy, white supremacy and patriarchy.” She argues that allowing dogs to sleep inside is a privilege reserved for the white and wealthy and that policies against keeping dogs chained up in backyards are intended to oppress people of color by imposing "middle-class norms of animal keeping in which companion animals are considered family and treated accordingly,” which ignore the fact that people of color "are themselves trapped in poverty, may have few options for legitimate income generation and possibly rely on their dogs for … status.” Unfortunately Guenther’s misguided book is gaining traction. Shelter director Kristen Hassen opines that Guenther "gets it right” in concluding that "racism, classism and the caste system are at the heart of the broken animal sheltering institution.” Arguing that laws to prevent mistreatment of dogs discriminate against "anyone in the US other than white, middle class and upper-class individuals,” Sloane Hawes, Tess Hupe and Kevin Morris of the University of Denver Institute for Human-Animal Connection cite the book in their proposal to relax enforcement of animal protection laws—a proposal that threatens to reverse decades of hard-won progress. Later in the review of the book Quote In Guenther’s book, moreover, white people do things; people of color have things done to them. For example, people of color who abandon their dogs in empty apartments are victims "ensnared in the legal system,” forced to leave their animals behind "under the duress of sudden eviction or deportation or arrest.” Guenther even claims that such people actually believe that what they are doing is for the best, because of "the constraints of their knowledge and resources, both of which are limited by the nexus of their class, status as immigrants, and ethnicity.” When a Latino man on a bicycle drops a dog "while escaping from mall security officers … after stealing a pair of Wrangler jeans,” she explains this away as the result of his "status as marginalized.” When a woman leaves her dog to die at the pound after she has finished breeding her and selling her puppies to buy drugs, it is the fault of her "status as a poorly educated queer woman of color.”
