In reply to the discussion: The Problem with Being Privileged [View all]Confusious
(8,317 posts)Some things happen to some people on your list, but it doesn't apply to everyone, and not in the same way. Not white, not black, not men, not women. It just serves to drive people farther apart, not bring them together.
If you deny your privilege, you have it. It's a nice circular logic. and a fail.
More akin to a religion then anything else. No proof, just belief.
The greatest sin in this church is to be white and male, no matter how fucked up your life was.
Personally, I think your post belongs on this site. It sounds a lot like the fail they highlight.

PS. The previous poster didn't sound angry to me. He sounded quite rational.
I guess that's what passes for discourse. "you don't agree so you must be angry, etc." You'll probably find a whole bunch more ways to avoid the argument on the socialjusticefail site. I hear "go drink bleach" is a favorite of the the social justice warriors.
