      This whole “privilege” thing is making a lot of inaccurate assumptions from the start.

        OK, so this whole thing can be boiled down to 'If you ever had anything good in your life it's white privilege'.

        Surely nothing could be the result of making good choices.

          Suppression of the masses, comrade. Proletariat power struggles.

          FFS they can't even get their own damn schtick, they have to steal theirs from 100 years ago while at the same time completely ignoring how that panned out the first time.

          Please love yourself.

            Every so called privileged person has heard the struggles of their parents and grandparents and how they coped and how it built a go forward plan. None included lighting the US on fire and this sort of activism so it feels alien and unbecoming of the right mindset.

                Is the ywca affiliated with the ymca? Because those guys pretty much define privilege around here. Our local gym is like a club for middle class women who don't need to work. We joined for a year, realised we couldn't afford their exorbitant fees, and quit. Then we got a load of letters asking for freaking charitable donations. Now they hold bloody events at 7am on a Saturday morning which wake me up to some bollocks being yelled out over a microphone.

                OK, I'm probably getting a bit off track here.

                I was only joking

                    If you want a bit of entertainment, you could fill out this questionnaire as Donald J. Trump.
