Check(list) your privilege.
(Excerpt) Read more at buzzfeed.com ...
Roughly 537 questions to answer, all of them aimed at concluding White = Bad.
Any of the questions ask if I am related to O or San Fran Nan or Dirty Harry??
White heterosexual=Bad
a truly stilted pile of progressive cow pie questions
Privileged to post on FREE REPUBLIC!
This is really horse blank. If you are not a minority, and are heterosexual, you are somehow privileged. And thus, if you are a minority, and not heterosexual, then you are under privileged.
And here I wondered about all of this. In today’s world, somehow it seems as if it’s now cool to be gay. It’s cool to be a minority, and there are privileges such as affirmative action which benefit non-caucasian or non-heterosexual peoples.
Hmm, I guess that happens when you look white, growing up surrounded by folks who aren’t.
“Youre not privileged at all. You grew up with an intersectional, complicated identity, and life never let you forget it. Youve had your fair share of struggles, and youve worked hard to overcome them. We do not live in an ideal world and you had to learn that the hard way. It is not your responsibility to educate those with more advantages than you, but if you decide you want to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.”
What a bunch of hooie.
There very first question is about your race.
Then what follows is just more questions, which sort of ask that.
I got to about #10 and just stopped. This test is complete and total nonsense.
That’s a pant load.
Wonder what happens if you answer them as Obama. What a mess he is!
If you don’t live in a ghetto or decaying democrat projects, you’re privileged and need to be re-educated and redistribute all of your wealth per UN Agenda 21 guidelines. Moving to Haiti or another third world nation will qualify you for world citizen acceptability.
He will claim he was so poor he ate dog. The lofos will oooh and ahhh that he lived in such poverty.
Too long.

>>Hmm, I guess that happens when you look white, growing up surrounded by folks who arent.
I got the same response. You have to read those questions the way a liberal would. Yes, I have been denied a job interview because I was white. Yes, I have been denied a promotion because I’m a man. Yes, I have been assaulted for my race by blacks. Etc etc.
This “test” was a hoot.
A lot of the questions I did NOT respond to, because ‘it ain’t none of their ** business’.
So, for the ones I DID answer, i got this tremendous, stupendous, grand “analysis”.
How Privileged Are You?
You live with 16 out of 100 points of privilege.
Youre underprivileged. The world is not a fair or ideal place and you know that because you grew up with several identities that the world is not kind to. You had a lot of challenges to overcome simply to get on a level playing field with most people in the world. It is not your job to educate the world about its injustices, but if you choose to, go ahead and send them this quiz. Hopefully it will help.

Golly Gee, Batman!!
What the heck happened to: “If life hands you a bowl of lemons, make lemonade!”
or
“Life is a bowlful of cherries, then how come I got all the pits??”
These kinds of assessments are really being used, and it is just too idiotic.
My wife & I are retired military & we both belong to the NRA.
Every time we come back from Canada we are `randomly’ selected for vehicle search after they scan our passports. Required to fill out & sign a customs declaration. Asked if there are any guns in the car.
Every time.
That one question got me right there. While growing up the gracious words from my mother and grandmother...public display of private affections is inappropriate...so, yes I guess according to this stupid quiz, I am privileged. And, I have no problem with it. :-)
Well that was loony. (No offense to OP. Was interesting though(
I do whatever I want whenever I want.
There are benefits to being a productive law-abiding christian.
What a crock
