"All his siblings", who were made by people who could only afford one mattress with no box spring or frame. When did you first start to give irresponsibility a blanket pass due to historic transgressions? How big is the blanket in your mind, does it cover the entire future of man?

I've been aware of it for quite some time. But I give zero shits. I'm going to take advantage of it until it no longer exists.

I'm too busy working to pay my mortgage and save up for retirement to find my privilege. Call me after I've retired in 15 years, I might have the time then.


Been retired for 10 years and still haven't found any privilege yet cause I still am paying out the arse in taxes for those that been having all the privilege.

Yeah I went to a friends house once around this age. Their carpet all throughout the house was covered in dog piss/shite stains and it smelled fricking terrible. I faked a stomach ache and called my parents to pick me up.

We weren’t rich by any means, but comfortable and we deep cleaned the house every Sunday.

Have you not registered with the US White Privilege Administration? I got my white privilege check in the mail yesterday. The $5k Should last me a couple of weeks til my next white privilege check gets here.

For me it was that time I went a whole entire day without a cop busting into my home and murdering me. I recognized my white privileged that day and every day since.
