Ronald Reagan’s poor working class family, working his way through small college(Eureka College) worked several menial jobs until success vs. Barrack H Obama’s 1% Banker’s family(lived with granny who was a banker)got “entitlement” scholarships to Ivy League and only job was “community organizer”
Check “your privilege”
We have no privileges.
We have rights.
They can kiss my abolitionist d1#k before I kick them in their hairless lazy a$$e$.
I guess yellow privilege is why Asian Americans didn’t need to be treated like cripples,charity cases, and riders of the short bus line for the last 4 generations (since 1964).
But, what the heck do I know?
That's not the way it works.
Racial differences are "social constructs" when it comes to the stereotypically bad traits of non-whites. When it comes to the White Devil and his alleged heritage of war and oppression (because no other race has ever waged war or oppressed/enslaved another human being), they are irredeemable genetic traits.
Similarly, when IQ tests reveal poor performance in the inner city or in the barrio, they are declared worthless, culturally biased, and arbitrary. When the same IQ test reveals low performance among poor whites, IQ becomes relevant again as a clear indicator of genetic inferiority.
A good response to some leftist who tells you to “check your privilege”, is to say, “My privilege is working fine, just like my gun and my penis. They’re kind of a set. Are any of yours working?”
Mass murder and genocide is their heritage, their elders being Mao, Stalin, and Pohl Pott.

Add “my mind” to that list.
Yet somehow it's not selfish to want money that others have earned. And it's not selfish to want affirmative action because it benefits your race. Nor is it selfish to want amnesty because most of the illegals are the same race as you.
Since whites/males/conservatives/straights/Christians/gun owners/TEA partiers/homeschoolers, etc., etc. are going to be called names, anyway, no matter what we do, we might as well be just as selfish and racist as they accuse us of being. When they tell us to check our privilege, we ought to say, "We can't help it we're superior to you! Check your jealousy." Mean? Sure...but they drove us to it. Why continue groveling when it gets us nothing but hate and discrimination in return?
Exxxxxxelent point

That's it exactly. The Left likes to think that only the Right's beliefs are merely fronts for self-interest. And yet all of the Left's "social justice" beliefs benefit someone, and you can bet your sweet bippy that the majority of the people who advocate "justice" are people who think they will personally benefit from it.
Only white privilege I’ve seen en masse recently is a group of people that screamed about the 1%, railed about Wall Street, and elected a bunch of people that did not have to defend giving the 1% a pile of taxpayer money.
Since it was mostly other people’s money, I wish they did not have that “privilege”.

People with unearned wealth are usually the ones who feel guilty and defensive about it in equal proportions. So they take it out by attacking the wealth (often the earned wealth) of others as a diversion. The same is true of people who have advanced through affirmative action and other racial set-asides.
