well that is how its used, but that is not how its meant to be used.

that pretty much what privilege is. A blessing from god, or flying spaghetti monster. Its too late to go back and remarket it.

I think that the problem with privilege is that liberals have somehow extended it from ivy league trust fund babies to upper middle class honkeys in Sheboygan.
The grievance class needs a boogeyman it can identify with. It's hard too keep gays in Tempe motivated when the bad guy is in a tower in Manhattan. Liberals have localized the "threat" to keep their loosely connected voting blocs in line.

And a black person with a degree and enough sense to show up on time is g-teed an upper-middle class life. They literally can't blow it unless the lie, cheat or steal.

Great question and I'll tell you why I deserve it. Did the government come over and paint the house, cut the grass, fix stuff around the house when he got cancer? Nope, I did. Did the government sit by his side day and night while he was in hospice? No, I did.
But I'll tell you what they did do. They refused to pay for hospice after 12 days because he wasn't dying fast enough for them.
You have any other questions?
Yeah, if the government paid for two weeks of hospice then they probably equaled or exceeded the benefit you provided with household chores..
So again -- why are you more deserving than the taxpayer? In reality neither party "deserves" it.. you just like to pretend you do because it supports your delusion of independent success. The government wants it to benefit the taxpayer.

IMO privilege is part lie, partially tinged with truth, and most often the product of conflating issues.
Couple of examples:
Whites have the privilege of going to college - This is mostly a lie. People aren't kept out of college on account of blackness nor admitted on account of whiteness. If anything, the opposite is true. It may also be conflation of issues, whereby the societal obstacles (sometimes self-created) of an average black community make it less likely the children of said community will be in a position to go to college.
Whites can go out without being hassled by the police/worried about being shot - There are statistics that question whether this is even a decent premise, but I'll give it some credence. But it's mostly conflation of issues. If white pedestrians are less likely to be committing crime in an area, is the lack of profiling a "privilege"? On account of statistical realities impacting public safety and law enforcement? It may be a semantics question, but either way privilege implies something that needs to be accounted (or even apologized) for, and I don't think the generalized lack of white street crime falls into that category.
On the other hand, do I feel for the young black man who the neighbors call the cops on as he walks to the bus stop to go to his job? Sure I do. He didn't earn that, he's not responsible for the rest of his "community." Objectively, should he be able to comprehend why the neighbor overreacts? Probably, yeah. But it still sucks.

The sad part is, if these "poor people" had money to leave to their kids, they would be crying about estate taxes as well.
At some point, we have to call "Privilege" what it is, jealousy...

And I have conservative friends. They just didn't vote for trump.
This is what got me about it, and that nuance probably didn't come through. I knew romney, bush, and mccain voters. Not just one or two either.

This, son, is the reason Donald Trump is about to become the President of the United States. This fricked up reasoning is exactly why. I hope you never change.
But just to answer your question, you do realize he put into the Medicare system for 45 years? Essentially paying for his stay in hospice himself. This is why you believe Social Security is some magic entitlement program. It's not. We pay into that shite every month.

It's a completely different mentality. Liberals ask themselves "who deserves this orphaned money the most? Oh, I know! It's me!!!"
The correct question is: "what does the rightful owner of that money freely choose to do with it in the event of his or her passing"

I have a couple of kids...at least 3/4 of the reason I drag myself into work everyday is so that I can help them have a better future and leave something to help out my family tree when I'm gone.
This is generally how families accumulate wealth.
In many cases the beneficiary has worked along side the benefactor and has played an integral role in building the wealth. Why wouldn't they deserve it?

Or we could live in reality: neither party deserves it. Neither party was likely relevant in the creation of that wealth.
Some snotty arse ends up getting the money because he did household chores and was privileged enough to be born into wealth.. then he wants to talk down to people
Hard to say privilege doesn't exist when the OP is a fantastic example

I came from poor to lower middle class, and I received privilege from my white parents.
Not my skin color, but their culture.
My father always worked more than 40 hours per week. We didn't own everything or go on European vacations. But he was able to send us to good schools that could also teach us morality. My mother stayed home to raise us until we were adolescents. Then she worked full time to afford our high school and college tuition. And they gave me a no divorce family.
I am passing this tried and true culture to my children. Their mom and I married before their birth. We are still together and working to get them through college.
Unfortunately for America, this culture is becoming less common in America thanks to liberals and the get something for nothing culture.
Both of these cultures are available to all races and colors.
