Exactly, it's a 'concept'. You need to get out of your echo chamber and talk to my neighbors. Bring some Leinenkugels, I have Point... we'll have a beer. Your racist neighbors in Wausau? Your stereotypes are amusing. My southeast Asian neighbors. They're better people than you could ever hope to be. He's a pharmacist and she's a PE...Came from literally nothing to their current positions. But yeah, tell me again how their 'privilege' put them in their current position. Here's the difference between me and you two bozos... You create societal victims to support your claim of privilege, and I can shoot all of those down with real people who contradict all your 'concepts'. Then you'll double down and minimize those individuals with some BS 'yeah but'... You're literally the worst type of people. |

Nah we just realize that racism, sexism and homophobia is still a massive problem in this country: Unlike you who continually promotes racism, sexism and homophobia and minimizes its harm to society. |

According to her list, as soon as that poor, black, disabled transvestite hit middle age, they become privileged. A remnant of the Obama admin, DEI has been an obvious disaster from the beginning. LeBron James has was born with physical and athletic gifts few others are yet I never hear the word "privileged" mentioned to cover him. The simple reality (if reality matters) is people are born to differing circumstances. This has been fact over time and history. Trying to make everything equal from birth is the practice of authoritarian concepts like communism. It's more dangerous than just failure. |

I think the debate over "privilege" is something I try to ignore. Those that want to push the idea are free to do so. It's free speech. That doesn't mean I have to listen to the concepts, debate, frustrations etc. I know many of you here are Christian. If we acted like Jesus taught, we would be more helpful to those that need help. To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48). --- I am not a practicing Christian, but I do acknowledge the good lessons that have been passed down. The Church is the (by far) most charitable group in the world. |

Adda boy!! Call me racist and run. DM me when you're close to town, I'll introduce you to my neighbors. They'd love to chat with you and I'd love for you to hear their story. |

Nah I don't feel guilty being white, but I do realize that being a straight white man has offered me built in advantages over those of other groups of people. Still lots of racist, homophobic, misogynistic dickheads in this world, that control the levers of businesses, towns, cities, states, countries ect. I'm not a victim, nor going to play the victim card like you do. Lol. Yes, you 'privileged' your way into success. I'm not a victim, rather, I was raised with a work ethic (foreign to many), worked multiple jobs, made good financial decisions, etc... You pass blame where I give credit. Personally, unless you're a trust fund baby, I refuse any suggestion of privilege, regardless of race, skin color or childhood. My neighbor and his family are minorities (great people)...very successful couple, when you hear their childhood stories you'd feel like a bag of dirt to suggest they had privilege....hard work, perseverance, dedication earned them what they have. And now this lady wants to take that away suggesting that middle class and ownership is somehow privileged. They (and I) would spit in her face rather than accept her opinion as fact. You don't think it is a privilege to be raised in a stable home vs a broken home, or one where your parents/guardians are crack/heroin addicts? I find that to be the case, in comparison. Do you get upset if people say something like "it is a privilege to speak with you"? What do you think the negative effects are of viewing your success as a privilege? Or viewing you being taught about a certain work ethic as a privilege? Privilege doesn't equate to bad, it equates to translating into more empathy for others. |

Do you get upset if people say something like "it is a privilege to speak with you"? Now you?! Lol. Yes, it's very unfortunate for those in that situation. But, BUT, there are countless examples across the country of people (minorities) born to those situations who wouldn't accept that as their future and made choices to be better through hard work individual accountability. One of my good friends mentored young men in college and through Rotary...when he talked with these young men about their choices and how they ended up where they were he said, if they used their upbringing as an excuse (no father, drugs, etc), he knew they couldn't be helped. If they showed even a fraction of remorse and/or accountability he knew he/they could help them. Instead of foot stomping, some of ya'll need to volunteer at youth centers. |

Sure, there are plenty of those examples; but it is also much more likely that being born into privilege will result in your life being better than those who are not born into those situation. That is what is being recognized. |

Nah the Great Replacement Theory you so desperately believe is an awful race based opinion. Understanding that minorities in large have been fucked over and continue to get fucked over by this country is a fact. |

In your own words your debunking white privilege. |
