The problem isn’t money and stuff, it’s giving a dang enough to care for your own and show them how to survive on whatever they’re given, however little.

I have said for many years now that what the “under privileged” need more than charity is a good “Jewish mother”.

By that I mean someone to push them to achieve and never accept the excuse “I can’t do it’ or ‘I don’t care”.

The reason much more often than not that someone is living in poverty is that they never tried to get out.

That’s in macro, perhaps mega, or maybe even giga-aggression territory. How many billions of my brain cells succumbed while I read that tripe? What a certifiable lunatic.

Ms. Burton was made to feel ashamed because she came from a good home.

I wonder how much she paid to get her brain washed.

White liberals are insane. I’ll chip in to buy a cage.

"As a bi-racial African American and Native American female who grew up in a predominately white and largely affluent suburban community in the American south, I felt that the discrimination and injustices that I grew up combating would never compare to that of my peers," she laments.

maybe you should try adding LBTGQCD &/or just "seriously confused" to your resume - bet that'd do it for you.

I'm sorry... is it LBGT? LGBSCD? DQ?J? LSMFT? it's all so confusing.

I’ve noticed the words “Intersection” or “intersectionality” are very common in left-speak. There’s are whole lot of other weird words and phrases that are part and parcel of the gobbledygook known as left-speak.

This whole thing made my head explode.
The excerpt was incomplete and had me scratchin my head.
Here’s where the blanks get filled in:

“Take one step forward if your parents went to college.”
“Take one step backward if you grew up not knowing if there would be food on the table.”
“Take one step forward if your parents tell you that they love you everyday.
“Take one step backward if you grew up not knowing if there would be food on the table.”

I suspect her parents paid thousands for the "privilege"...

If I ever talk to a person that uses the phrase “Social Justice” in a supportive manner, it will be the last time I talk to that person.

Imagine if these people had to struggle to make ends meet like my Parents and Grandparents did during the Depression.

I hear the term in Church all the time.

Number one, IMO, the girl is actually bragging that she is, in her opinion, well born, educated better than those she seeks to impress, and in fact feels superior in every way to those she is so condescending towards. Number two, she is probably going to use this tripe liberalease thought piece as part of her resume to get further toward another do nothing job with higher pay in her touchy freely progressive world of doing good deeds for those not as well born as herself.

correction, next to last line of previous post. Should be touchy feely instead of freely.

After the activity, she called her mom, weeping: “On the phone with my mom crying, I tried to put into words just how unfair it was. I felt like a sham -<<<

her mother should perform a late late late term abortion to end this sham!...All will be well then.......
