This is stupid. I am all about calling out misused privilege but you can certainly be privileged and Blessed. You think God is handing out Blessings based on certain qualifications that you have determined?
Get out of here!
You are all kinds of wrong.

This.

If you work for it, you aren’t privileged.

And, privilege shouldn’t become a scarlet letter.

It’s not a scarlet letter. So why not admit you have it?

It is in today's world. Calling someone privileged is a slam against them. It's saying they have something they don't deserve to have. It couldn't have been earned, it had to have been because of their "privilege".

It is a combination of luck and work.

OP, healthy people don't care whether other people are taking nice vacations. Get off social media and stop comparing yourself to other people.

Apparently it is impossible for some people to fathom that hard work, education, and good choices SOMETIMES pay off in life, and that it is entirely possible that people can earn things through avenues that are not privilege.

Agree with you, with the caveat/modification.

Your chances are better with that history. That's how I did it, but I also know I got lucky. Plenty of people do the same and don't end up better off.

And agree with OP.

You had good choices to pick from.

That were earned by studying.

Hard to study when there’s gunshots outside your unit every day.

Why didn't you just tell your parents to buy a house in a quiet suburb?

Redlining. Food deserts. Segregation.

Educate yourself.

Actually it is.

Really? There are certain groups who only have unhealthy children? I wasn't aware.

Well, I see you are neither blessed nor privileged with common sense.

Are you for real?

Seriously? I would like to know what group has a membership that is able to avoid having unhealthy children?

Cos she's blessed and privileged and feeling a teensy bit undeserving.

This is how i feel too. I am blessed, I have been privileged, I am grateful. I understand life is unpredictable and it can all go awry. We lose our health, our good fortune, our family members. But in the meantime, I feel really lucky and I try to stay very humble with the realization that life is fragile.

Also hard to study when you're out at midnight on a weekday doing wheelies on a dirt bike or tearing ass down H street on an ATV.

You bored today? Go for a walk. There is zero chance you really care about this non issue. Have a blessed day! Period.
