“you’re white”
“you’re male”
“you’re privileged”
“you’re part of the problem”
“you won’t admit to being part of the problem”
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.
I don’t think I have ever insulted anybody in this conversation.
not directly, but you sure talked as though being a male and white was something negative.
If so, please point me to the post where I did, and I will heartily apologize.
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.
The concept of being privileged but still having a crappy life was explained in that post.
I love how we throw away the real definition of words so they can mean whatever we want them to.
