As far as I can tell, Privilege nonsense is falling flat. No one who is not already insanely liberal pays any attention except to laugh. The far left fringe that believes it is being demoralized by the idea that they are facing the insurmountable obstacle of “privilege”. I’m okay with that.

A black man at work was trying to guilt trip everyone with a discussion on privilege. I stated that many problems in the black community are due to a 75% illegitimacy rate versus whites 25%, so the high crime and poverty are a reflection of fatherless homes - something poor whites with similar marriage-avoidance have. Therefore, you are mistaking racism for classism, since middle class blacks with married families do rather well compared to those who come from several generations of poor broken families.
He hardly missed a beat, bringing up that family status was yet another form of privilege, but that we can’t rush to assume that marriage is a solution to poverty and push our values on others ...

Study Ben Carson Life puke head. This shxx has got to stop. This is what I call a stretch......... Pegoda writes that privilege means “that my accomplishments–or perhaps more accurately, my access and opportunities to have said accomplishments–are due in part (and probably a greater part than even I am able to or even comfortable articulating) to deeply-ingrained, institutional forces fully beyond my control, largely invisible forces that perpetuate racism and sexism to benefit me at the expense of others, rather at the expense of every person.”

It's alive and well on college campuses.

In the real world, however, not so much.
