just who has been making “many accusations”?

Aren’t you white?

Aren’t you male?

Yes, but you guys meant them as insults.

Source?

read your own posts.

If yes to either (or both!) then yes you’re privileged.

These guys are privileged:

Just because you’re privileged doesn’t mean you’ve got a good life. It simply means that you have certain advantages by being a white straight male etc whatever.

A black man and a white man can both have AIDS but the black man is more likely to get attention from police for doing nothing. There’s the privilege. The white man can still die in the gutter the next day. Hell, the white man can still be hassled by the police for doing nothing. But it’s more likely to happen to the black man because he’s not white.

So yeah, when I think of “privilege” I’m just thinking of someone getting benefits because of how they were born. You guys shouldn’t take it so personally, because most of us are privileged in some way.

Those two homeless people are not privileged.
