I had the privilege of being born to an unwed teenaged mother without much education or money. An abusive stepfather beat the shit out of me when I was a kid, but stopped when I learned to stand up for myself. I also learned to put myself through undergraduate and graduate schools without aid from family. It took me longer than average, but I got it done.

Now I am an experienced professional who makes decent money. I am white. What privilege did I have? I have a work ethic and a reasonably sharp mind. My earnings support those who have no work ethic. I don’t mind supporting the intellectually disabled, but I guess it’s a privilege, as a maker, to support the takers.

Social Justice Warriors need to thank me for subsidizing their existence (without my consent).

Ahh, THERE's the 'white privilege'.
