I am extremely privileged. Why is it so hard for some of you to admit the same?

I just used Charmin ultra strong sitting on my $400 toilet. I checked my white privilege a couple times, and then said good riddance

My boss high fives me each morning, then sprints down the other cubicles with his hand held out slapping the minorities across the face. #blacklivesmatter

Never. The only time I think or hear about racist shite is when I'm on this site with all y'all racists.

I'm willing to bet less than 5% of this board grew up in legitimate poverty.

Tell us about your "privilege"? Explain to us how it differs from the individual circumstances of every other human and how there is no equality of circumstance anywhere or anytime in the world.

Oh, and tell us why it matters. Who is judging who? Why does the individual mandate of the Christian ethos of "to whom much is given, much is expected", no longer apply and can be supplanted by a pre-judged assumption based on race, and in actual practice, political belief, as the basis for others to determine who has been "privileged" and those who have not.

It has nothing to do with money. For most life in the USA is just easier if you are white than if you are black....and as a white male I appreciate that.

It's way lower than 5%, unless there are more 3rd world members than I realized. Why does this matter, and what does it have to do with whiteness?

Yep. We certainly weren't living in abundance when I was a kid.
