Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea

As a colored person in America, I am asking everyone to please stop with all of this. I watched this with my wife and this message is not helpful to anyone. I grew up in a rough neighborhood that I occasionally go back to and visit family. All of my old friends that are still living in the neighborhood are still complaining about white privilege and play the victim card on a daily basis. They are mostly in their mid to upper 30's. The few friends that made it out and are successful with families and careers never complain, never play the victim card and focus on becoming better for themselves and their families. Society has come a long way and if we stop all of this nonsense and focus on improving ourselves and being the best we can for society and our families, we will all be better off. Chelsea, direct your energy somewhere more useful than trying to show everyone how you are so compassionate, caring and woke. Hi

I found this a really naive, yet sincere take on Chelsea's own experience with race. She's very honest about her ignorance and she does reach to people of colour to hear them out, if in a bit of an exploitative way. A woman at the poetry slam she went said it best "the fact that you're making this is white privilege". I loved the contrast between what the republican ladies were saying and what the guys from Tennessee said. The rapper saying he was the top of the white trash and then being so articulate and thoughtful was a great sequence.

The self flaeggelation cannot disguise the narcissism & self importance of this woman. I just don't like her one bit.

Growing up in the inner city of Chicago, I was surrounded by many friends who blamed and still blame, "The Rich White Man" for the reason they are where they are. My mother instilled in me from a young age to never blame and never complain and I was one of the few who went to college and moved on and found a successful career. There were also a select few from where I grew up who made it on to bigger and better things. The common theme with all of us is we had goals, direction and didn't blame or play any victim card. The last thing the inidividuals in my old neighborhood of North Lawndale in Chicago is to turn on Netflix and have another reason to think they are victims and whites are so privileged. It is true that it is a bit more challenging for us to get out and become something, but not impossible if you have the right message and ambition. These documentaries hurt more than help. They are made to allow guilty whites to feel better about themselves and don't actually take into consideration how much it hurts those in the inner cities who already feel they are victims. More of documentaries and things like this only confirm what they actually feel and will leave everyone stuck. We need empowering messages like, "Anyone can do it and make it" or "Focus on yourself and growing everyday", not "whites are the lucky ones and minorities have no chance." The filmmakers here felt so good about themselves making this film, but in my opinion it hurts minorities in tough situations.

Just wow. Is anyone really falling for this stuff anymore?
