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.

So with many of the poor reviews here, people seem to hate this documentary because it makes white people feel and about being white. I would recommend those to read up a little about white privilege because it IS real - Chelsea is not trying to make anyone feel bad with something they can't change, cause of course there's white peoples who struggle, however for POC the system is adding more hurdles to this struggle. She's rather trying to reveal that white privilege exists. Why don't you ask yourself why this gets you so irritated? Maybe because there's a threat that the privilege will be debunked and will take away some of your benefits? Overall, I thought the documentary a good start for an anti racism, facing our privilege conversation, but needs more depth. it did feel like she was trying to apologize for her whiteness, but to be honest, there's probably no smooth way for a blonde woman to address this issue. I'm still glad she did as it opens up a discussion.

Chelsea Handler channeling her personal guilt over her huge unwarranted success as a pretty woman with a foul mouth to blame all white people, 99.9% of whom will never enjoy her privileged life. Embarrassing and insulting.

Whilst it still only scratches at the surface, Chelsea and her commentators raise some valid points and offers ways to start working through issues as:

• How white people need to solve this problem instead of just projecting it onto the black community
• How to better become more aware structures that work in your favour/against
• What some of the forms of structural dicrimination is currently happening in the US.

For little over an hour, it's a good conversation starter.

P.S.: There seem to be a lot of angry white trolls on this page.
