Because I don't think that Rohingya or Nuer people are worth 50,000x less than Palestinians?
I can agree that there's more things going on that should be brought out to a broader audience, but doing it this way feels like throwing Palestinians under the bus to do it.
I said he was 50% right, where's the issue?
Because it feels incredibly wrong to me to frame it as, one group of people being murdered is "privileged" over another group of people being murdered.
It'd be like saying, being SA'd by a family member is half as bad as being SA'd by a stranger because you're family member provides a house and a fridge full of food.
It's more like saying a missing white girl is more privileged than a missing black girl bc her story gets picked up by the news
So... I typically think of the word "privilege" as meaning, "something given but not earned".
In a white society, the inherent racism makes it much more likely that a the white girl gets more attention than the black girl, I see that.
But the Palestinians, I'm pretty sure, aren't considered White by USA'ians. I can see why the media doesn't give as much time to the genocides in Africa from basic
.
What privilege do they have, that their attackers are openly supported by the USA?
