A resident advisor (RA) at Marshall University in West Virginia has placed a poster in a freshman dorm that attacks heterosexual Christian students by defining them as “privileged.”
Senior RA Jessie Swiger hung her poster in Freshman North, a co-ed dorm. Campus Reform reported the story and presents screenshots of the poster, as well as Swiger’s Facebook post defending her poster and a tweet in which Swiger justifies, “It’s not shaming. It’s educating. Privilege exists as a result of racism, sexism, ablism, & classism engrained in society.”
The poster itself, which is handwritten, equates privilege as “not being asked ‘how does sex work for you?’” and “’flesh colored’ matches your skin tone.”
Examples of “privilege” Swiger provides on the poster are “white, male, Christian, cisgender, and heterosexual privilege that you’ve probably never realized or thought about.”
In a Facebook post, Swiger said, “I’m thankful to have been able to go through training and take classes that have helped me to understand and recognize privilege, what it is, and how it affects our brothers and sisters of the world.”
“As a person passionate about social justice, I feel this is an important starting topic that will influence other issues we face in society,” Swiger continues. “I know that I have privilege because as a white, middle class, heterosexual, cisgender, educated, Christian person I can post this and know that my point will be taken seriously and the only negative comments will come from other privileged people.”
Swiger said there is no need to feel ashamed of being a member of a “privilege group but instead should use it to recognize advantages that may have not previously crossed your mind that someone who is not in your group has to struggle or fight for more than you.”

why is normal privileged?
How many trangender homos does it take to put a lesbian on the moon?
Some one needs to make these idiots GO AWAY. Their stupidity makes my hair hurt.
At least the vicious people of the past were serious minded. This new breed is just nasty brutish and s.t.u.p.i.d.
..she's got this thing for zebras
Of course , the left is already changing the terminology from majority to priviledged.
Give her a Classic Prison ZEBRA suit.
..she’s probably been hit more than the beaches at Normandy before the invasion
Since when is hard work privilege?
If her brains are in her butt, she's like the smartest person on the planet.
And for imitating vacuum cleaners or something.
That stupid looking lip thing they do is just that: stupid looking.
Somebody should simply erase that foolishness.
A generation from now, people will be laughing (more so) at the very idea of ‘microagressions, triggers and ‘safe rooms’ from an opposing discussion. It will be stereotypic jargon of that time, such as calling something ‘groovy, or ‘fresh’.
There are fools, damned fools, and college faculty. It might be possible to help some of the fools; the rest are hopeless.
I hate college Nazis.
Let’s get one thing straight here.
NO ONE, to paraphrase a famous line, can shame me without my consent
Self-important ignorant morons I can ignore, effortlessly, ‘til the cows come home.
RA who?
thank you...
what’s with this term “cisgender”? I keep hearing it but don’t know what it means. Is it a term made up by liberals, to push the meme that there are really 56 different gender variations???
There are two ways to look at privilege, receiving it and bestowing it.
I bestow privileges on on people who I think are a good investment. It costs me to privilege people. I avoid wasting my wealth and time on people who cannot use it, and will not retribute.
I strive to be a good investment for others who can privilege me. I hope am able to use their money and power to benefit them, and myself.
Proclaiming privilege to be public property to be shared equally among all people is one more way to for the socialists to redistribute wealth. It is plundering.
I have often wondered how the Nazis had some Jews do their bidding
I have often wondered how the muslims had some Christians do their bidding
Etc.
Brainwashing... Educate them from an early age to hate themselves and hate all those like them
People who are that obsessed with their wee wees are sick in the head.
