I was privileged to work at age 12....everyday during the school year.
I call them blessings.
Ever notice that the people who complain the most about “privilege” are the ones who have the most?
I know it was a 'different time,' but from the time I was about 10 years old, I was shoveling snow (talk about white privilege!), mowing lawns, delivering newspapers (40+ papers a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year for 4 years - at 5:30 in the morning). My brother was the same way, and our 2 sisters and we all babysat for neighbors. We did this while being put through Catholic high school on my father's car salesman salary. They went without lots of things on our behalf.
So to those who claim I had white privilege, I have but one thing to say...
It's open to anyone. Get an education, get a job, get married and stay married.
It's as simple as that.
The most profitable "business" that we had was "worms"...which we sold to the bait shop at a penny each. We would pick 300 at a crack.

My SSN earnings start in 1973. I was 13 years old.

Lol. My husband was privileged to be in the middle of a family of seven. At thirteen he worked three jobs, delivered newspapers in the morning, worked for a florist after school, and washed dishes at a diner from 10pm until done. Also privileged to have had his first bypas surgery at 43, major heart attack at 46, Heart transplant at 64 and he is still working. (He is truly privileged to have survived his heart issues so not complaining)
Screw their white privilege, we’ve been paying our taxes our entire lives to keep lazy a$$es who now call us privileged, to collect their welfare.
Never, never thought I would say this but I hate this country and what it has become.
I would add someone who buys home is invested in the neighborhood more than someone who rents.
We always considered work to be fun...and we became “clever” to make even more profit. My bro and I bought extra Sunday papers....and stood outside of church. We easily sold them plus tips. They would have had to go to the Drugstore on the corner. The Good Thieves!!
Communists invented white privilege because they couldn’t explain why blacks have done so poorly on the liberal plantation. Not complicated.
Black Entitlement.......
white privilege is an excuse for parasite losers to gain the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing
Is all of this “white privilege” nonsense going to backfire and turn whites into “the elite” in everyone else’s eyes?
There was an article in The Atlantic today about football and how white kids are turning away from football because of the fear of brain trauma. The article was mostly about this black family.
The mother is 31, and her sons are 11, 12, and 14. She is working on her GED, and has a job working nights in a warehouse. The family lives in a small prefab house in a small town in rural Georgia. One of the kids is named Jyqwayvin and one is named Marqwayvian. There are at least three last names represented in this household. The mother is hoping that her sons can get football scholarships.
On the one hand I feel for these people, but on the other hand, their problems are of their own making and blaming white people is ridiculous.
Names ending in -ian are often Armenian (like George Deukmejian).
Let's hope that when Marqwayvian applies to Ivy League colleges, his application isn't processed by someone who is prejudiced against Armenians.
“I call them blessings.”
I agree. It comes down to your outlook. Maybe you had friends that had families that never made them work and maybe you had to get a job and work your butt off. Were they privileged not having to work or were you privileged to gain experiences they did not?
Someone once told me that life is filled with experiences, both good and bad, and how we react to these experiences shapes who we are.
Blacks who act “white” also enjoy white privilege.
