A great illustration of "privilege"

/

Note that no one who got a head start did anything wrong to get their privilege or is a bad person because of it. But it's important for them to recognize its existence, how they benefit from it and how it negatively impacts those who don't have it.

I presume it is an issue of the privacy setting of the post in question.

it shows clearly how the privileged (generally) haven't done anything wrong, but their privilege isn't due to anything they've actually DONE either.

But boy howdy, does this enrage conservative white dudes if posted on Facebook!
