[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a nice home, or healthy kids, or taking a nice vacation isn't a special right afforded to only one group of people/  So no . . . [/quote]

Actually it is.[/quote]

[b]Really?  There are certain groups who only have unhealthy children?  I wasn't aware.  [/quote][/b]

A child doesn't get cancer because he wasn't blessed. A nice home, whatever that  is for each person, didn't happen because people were blessed. Living in the first world with access to medical  care,  education,  housing,  food, etc., mean that one does,  indeed have privilege.  [/quote]

Agree with PP #2

PP #1, look at the stats for things like air quality and asthma rates in areas where poor people live, particularly people of color. Look at the reports about areas in the south where people don't have access to public sanitation and don't have the resources for adequate septic systems. Look at the stats for people (again, poorer people) living in close proximity to chemical refining plants in Texas and Louisiana. Look at the kids in Flint. [/quote]
