“It is so up to white people to fix this problem,” said Handler, “I understand that you’re fed up, I would be too” (via toofab)
The subject is one Handler focused on in her recent Netflix special, "Hello Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea," which dropped earlier this month.
"For me, just in my process too, recognizing places where I might have hurt people, looking where I've been a mean girl, been a mean wife, a mean mom, just mean," she added. "I never really looked at myself at being mean." "Yes. You know that when you look at your life and looked at being rewarded -- even in Hollywood -- for my bad behavior, which was considered bad but I was being rewarded. A black girl would never have gotten her own show for telling celebrities how stupid they were," she said. "You are the beneficiary of white privilege to such a degree, you are the 'American White Dream.
After Jada asked her to share something that "really describes white privilege," Handler shared a problematic tale with the two women she considered "a learning point" for her. "This Black woman was standing up singing a song and I went up to her and said, 'Oh my god that was beautiful,' and I slapped her on the butt," said Handler. Both Jada and her mother reacted with expressions of horror.
"This is just such classic white privilege right here," responded Adrienne. "It's a total unawareness that for me and my generation, that we are very, very impatient now. While you're asking me to be compassionate, I'm like, girl, bye with that shit." "A lot of us just throw up our hands and don't know what to do," said Norris. "If any of those women had any black friends, somebody in their life that's black they actually love, would they have the same ideas?" asked Jada.
