Is it a privilege if you earned it?
“Is it a privilege if you earned it?” The word privilege implies that someone gave it to you and that privileges are part of a zero sum game; some get it and some don’t. Success is a better word. Everyone in the US has access to success as Oprah and Obama proved. How many of each class are successful depends on individual performance. America is built to reward individual freedom to succeed. Some don’t understand this and don’t participate; blaming others for their condition.
