Girlpleease!

Lana Del Rey. You are white. Elizabeth Grant. It's your name. Own it. I own mine. I own my skin color. I own my soul. How much did you sell yours for?

And I enjoy your music. I do! Reminds me of my college days. Jose Gonzalez channel on Pandora. Feeling it. Feeling each strum. Does liking "whitepeople" music make me white? No. Does changing your name make you Latina? Nope.

It's you. It's you. It's all for you--

For who?

Truth.
I prayed for blonde hair and blue eyes.

Words I wish I screamed.
NANCY BRUCE. YOU ARE WHITE. THEREFORE YOU HAVE PRIVILEGE. DENING IT IS NOT OK. IT'S HURTFUL. HARMFUL. OWN IT.

White girls in denial #smh

I'm still waiting for "Shit Privilege Girls Say" ...

Yet at the end of the day, that included me too? College education. Check. "White Skin". Yup. Le sigh.
