notanotherginger asked: Privilege doesn't mean that you can't be disadvantaged. If two people, one white and one black, come from the exact same socioeconomic background, have the same education, same amount of money, the white person still has privileges and more opportunities than the black person does. This is seen everywhere in every aspect of society.
Sorry. No, he doesn’t. The only thing that holds anyone back from succeeding is their own initiative, work ethic, and goals.
In fact, if you look at all the programs, social services, affirmative action rules and laws, and the rampant political correctness that screams through society, it would stand to reason that if anyone has undue privilege it would be minorities.
Again, privilege is a made-up status to give people a reason to feel ‘victimized’ instead of looking at what’s really holding them back-mainly themselves and the people who feed and nurture the victim mentality in other people.
Have a great day.
