[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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? [/b] I wasn't aware.  [/quote]

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]

Does a child get cancer because he is not privileged? Do rich white kids escape cancer because they are privileged?[/quote]

You don't get this do you? Lol

[b]The reverse of this blessed logic doesn't work here, dear. That  implies that those  who don't have good things aren't  blessed.[/b]

People aren't "blessed" when good things happen to  them. A lot of good things happen  to people because of any number of reasons, and access to these  things  aren't controlled  by blessings, but access.

Cancer? White people? Well, let's go there. Anyone can get cancer.  But who will  have access to care? Who will have more  experience with preventable disease such as diabetes, heart issues, 
 and some cancers? I think the pandemic showed us  a lot about privilege, too. Look at the death and disease stats on that.  Were they all not "blessed?"[/quote]

DP. In real logic, the inverse of a statement is not assumed to be true. Not sure where you're headed with your rant about blessings and privilege, but you didn't get there by logic.
