Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea

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.

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.

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 am 9 minutes into this documentary and she has already totally contradicted herself! She says she didn't grow up with a lot of money yet her Dad OWNED (not just worked at) a Used Car Dealership! In Jersey that is a very lucrative business! Also if you look up her Wikipedia it says that she spent her summers at her parent's home in Martha's Vineyard! And when she moved out to L.A. she lived in her Aunt's home in Bel Aire! Jeez Chelsea if that's growing up without money then I must've grown up completely desolate! See this is why I can't stand celebrities and the soap boxes they stand on! They think because they are who they are that they should open their big mouths about things they have NO conception of! Go back to the comedy clubs Chelsea and leave the politics to the Politicians! You are just making a complete fool of yourself! NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY!

This was PR concerning her bruised ego re criticism she received over a book she wrote with a title. She started with insensitivity covered by an off colour joke (no pun) that left Kevin Hart calling her out with one look. She manipulates and obfuscates trying to cover her lack of a soul. There were so many wonderful, challenging opportunities left hanging, starting with Tiffany Haddish in the first scene. Chelsea Handler is a soulless hack and everything that is wrong with privilege, period. No wonder I never warmed to her. She's a cold fish.
