Great article.
Should I check my God-given rights at the same time?
bttt
Oh bravo! Excellent article.
I have the right to bear arms, but linerals think it should be a governemnt handed privilege until you retire and then you are back to being a serf awaiting your death panel date.

Boy, is he going to the wrong school!
Anyone who uses the phrase “check your privilege” against another first needs to have their own privileges checked.
1) You are speaking freely. If you had earned that right you would not question it in others. As such, using an unearned right, you are a spoiled brat. Check your privilege and listen before you speak.
2) You are speaking to someone you think is privileged. If you truly believe this, then you should keep a humble and courteous tongue in your mouth, lest those you deem to be superior to you remind you of your inferiority.
3) Since you believe yourself to be inferior, the proof of this is not even speaking until you are spoken to.
Clearly, he is unrepentant, and this proves the need for reeducation camps established by FEMA, security by Homeland and reeducation provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
FWIW, Jewish students are 13% of Princeton. That’s by far the lowest in the Ivy League and the school has a goal of getting it back up to 20%.
No problem with that, until you realize Jews are only 2% of the population.
I doubt I have any disagreement with this student or his no doubt well-earned presence at Princeton.
I have a lot of problems with his ethnic/religious compatriots who have led the fight to have “white people” limited to no more than their percentage of the population (actually much less) at elite colleges, while allowing, indeed encouraging, Jews to exceed their percentage by 10x or 15x.
Bravo!
The poor fellow (author)...spent way too much time trying to get someone to understand, when they really do not want to understand and never will.
Engaging the willfully intolerant with all this "talk" is a waste of creative talent. Intellectual pretzel gymnastics and self mental torture would be more productive. You live..you learn.
Wonder what kind of grade he'd get on this if he turned it in as part of his course work in say, an English writing or a sociology class.
My grandparents fled oppression of Jews in Eastern Europe, and were not victimized by the Holocaust. My grandfather insisted that my mother and my aunt go to college in the 1940’s. My father worked for 55 years, since he was fifteen, in a factory from 7AM to 5PM, and then worked evenings and weekends in his coin business. My mother went to work teaching school, and my father sold part of his coin collection so that my brother and I could go to college. I finished college and passed the CPA exam, and then started my own accounting office, working sometimes fifteen hours a day.
I’m privileged. I am very, very privileged.
Proper response: "Go get bent."
What about the International Conspiracy to take over the world and fake the Holocaust to justify it? Doesn’t that make you privileged? Huh? Huh? Huh?
And that’s nothing compared to what the sons of former slaves suffered. Why, if it hadn’t been for slavery, they’d have been back in Africa, starving or getting raped and murdered by holy warriors, as Allah meant them to be./s
Great post. It might be a duplicate but it doesn’t matter... it’s worth many reads...
Beautiful.
My privilege is the same as his.
