You think discussions of white privilege happening on college campuses are constructive and not demeaning?
i am 20 years out of school. I have no clue what they do or not do.
It wouldn't surprise me though, professors can be assholes.

I can tell you don't have children, or you would have stopped yourself before posting something so stupid.
If you do have children, you need to stop feeding them right now. Some kids don't have the privilege of having food or parents, so to absolve them of their evil privilege, I demand you throw them out on the street, regardless of age.

Nah, Bmy deserves better.
I hope his children grow up to be wildly successful and amass a huge amount of wealth.
...and when he's old and unable to care for himself, they tell him to frick off.
That would be justice.

You guys sure are emotional and have trouble following sometimes.
1) OP had a rich daddy who left him money
2) OPs daddys money lets him take and absorb larger risks than less fortunate people (less privileged). This, at least in part, directly helped him create and maintain a business. Therefore he benefits from this privilege which discredits his original OP.
3) OP didn't earn this money but wants to bitch about another entity trying to tax it because they don't "deserve" its.
4) bmy points out that the OP does not deserve it either and people lose their shite
5) I don't have a fricking point except that the OP is a narcissist with an inflated and unrealistic perception of himself. And that he is wrong and I am right

So you'd agree Obama's children are privileged?
Also,
It was already taxed when his dad paid federal, state, and possibly local tax on those earnings. What is the justification to tax it again?

False. He wasn't rich. He just worked for what he had

False, I assumed risk when I started my own company. My father put no money towards that venture initially and never did.

I think it's been proven by the numerous comments that Broke is indeed the one who is right and you just look foolish.

why do you deserve your fathers money more than the taxpayer/projects supported by tax dollars?
This is pretty simple to answer, I put money away in savings for my kids to have a better life when I die, not for the government to piss away on red light studies and other worthless government programs. I work hard for the future of my kids, not for the government to swoop in and take what they didn't earn.

yea man, my great great granddad swindled a bunch of Indians out of their mineral rights. Now my family is rich and didn't do shite but watch the oil (and currently) gas wells hit. yay great great granddad!

I would love to get an estate over $5M and I wouldn't give a shite if the government took some of it because I'd still be a millionaire and be better off than 90% of the country.

No, he didn't earn it. Though he might have helped by working for his father, his father actually earned the money, and by earning the money his father earned the right to decide what to do with it. He obviously believed that this son deserved it, so he gave it to him.
It is not the government's right to decide who or what deserves a citizen's money or belongings when they die.

I think 5M+ counts as rich.

Less risk than someone less privileged. To paraphrase.. "your family has money".

True. But they do have authority to tax the transfer of property whether you like it or not.

I am very confused. What the hell are you saying? Of course he deserves it. Are you saying no one should inherit anything to force the same opportunities for all? If you are willed property or money, are you going to donate it to the government because you didn't earn it? Don't people who inherit wealth also have the opportunity to blow it all and end up as failures?
Are you saying no wealthy, successful people should be allowed into leadership? What criteria are you suggesting disqualifies one who is, in your eyes, privileged?
One more question: What are you willing to give up to avoid being more privileged than others?

" The authority to tax the transfer of property"? When my father earned a dollar, he paid income tax on it, both Federal & State. Out of that same dollar, Social Security took its deduction. When he passed away, the Feds took half of his estate through inheritance taxes. When I received my share, I paid income tax on it. My sister did. My mother did. So that one dollar was taxed 5 different ways. And I am supposed to feel guilty over receiving what is left? That I took my share, as did the OP, and used it to make my own business more profitable, resulting in my employees making a good living. I am to feel guilty about that? The Fed & State did not contribute one nickel of that dollar to my employees. Don't guess it's much of a stretch to say you probably voted for Bernie?
