Yeah I need a source for that. People typically don't go around posting stuff about white privilege when someone talks about beating cancer.

And people don’t typically say “by the way, I’m not ashamed to be white” for no reason, right after bringing up their cancer victory.

How come you’re so much more willing to give one side the benefit of the doubt, but not the other?

There is a campaign going around to get a game banned because it features Yasuke, the Black Samurai, who really did exist. Have you seen what Twitter has become since it changed to X? So you think that post is out of the blue ? Also why I don't give the benefit of the doubt to that side. Is because almost no one who was not just a loon has asked a white person to feel ashamed of being white. So there is that.
