Let's start calling it, 'hard work' priviledge.

They're making up some 'snappy' term hoping that you will give up more of what you've earned.

My white privilege was the opportunity to stack about my half of 1000 bales of hay a day by hand on a trailer, then stuff them in the top of a tin barn roof in 100 degree heat from the time I was 13 till I left for college. At the end of the year when I was 13, my dad offered me $200 for the summer’s work, or a new shotgun. I got a new Beretta to shoot quail with behind our pointers. Of course, if it rained, I got the privilege of throwing, castrating, and vaccinated a few hundred calves for free. When the haying was over, I got the privilege of breaking 8-10 2-year olds for free, but hell, that was fun. At 18, I got the privilege of going to college, fortunately, I had enough money saved from the privilege of stacking bales for the neighbors at night to pay cash for a new Vega ($2600). I also got the privilege of 12 hours of college credit going in because I was privileged enough to test out of six hours of Math, and six hours of English classes, as well as getting a year of school paid for because they thought I was good enough to play baseball, which they soon found out to not be true. The rest of my privileged college life, I worked part time, except when the kids went to spring break, I got to work full time so that I could graduate a semester early and be able to pay off my $1700 in student loans. Life is easy for us privileged few.
