Why bother putting in the effort when you can live quite comfortably off of other tax payers?

Thanks LBJ.

When I looked in the mirror when I was two and realized I was white. Began sucking my thumb at night shortly after that to deal with the triggering.

It hasn't happened yet at 42. I'm starting to think that it's not going to.

Want to watch a leftist’s head explode? Ask them to prove the existence of White Privilege with data.

I started looking back on it and my moment of privilege was my siblings and I having free reign at the Governor's Mansion in Frankfort, Kentucky, whenever my dad would be there on business or to visit.

It's a retarded concept meant to induce guilt. The concept of privilege is the original sin in the Marxist bible.

They've simply copied religious concepts.

It really is simple. Don't commit crimes, don't have kids before you are married, graduate HS, get a job. Those simple steps will likely put you above the poverty line.

Would they be as triggered if we called it an “advantage”?

Yep. And in America, it's not really that hard, but you have to keep the liberals from keeping you oppressed and dependent on them.

Thank you.....

You are living proof that the Left have completely dumbed-down huge portions of the population....

A two-parent family who are striving for home ownership SHOULD be considered the "norm", not some anomaly....

Thanks again....

Based on what?

If that’s your opinion of privilege that would mean that “privilege” exists for basically all people in all different facets of life and would be completely unquantifiable.

Like I said earlier, ask for data and watch heads explode.

How is this “advantage” tied to race?

I was aware of my privilege when I was born into a poor, manual labor family. I knew that I had a leg-up when I was born to parents that didn’t finish High School. I’m lucky to have joined the Marines out of HS in order to even go to college, but first had to sign an 8 year contract and spend a total of about 2 years overseas.

I can’t believe the struggle that those whose every need are provided for through dozens of government agencies must go through.

Who said it was an "anomaly"? Not all privileges are anomalies.

don't we have plenty of data that says kids in 2-parent households generally have the best outcomes?

Interesting some here define "privilege" as something that was considered normal 50 years ago.


This is the result of the Left dumbing down millions of people.
