Kinda salient, really. A lot of people here aren't even condemning a white person for their privilege. It's almost as if they understand that it's not something that can really be done away with at all. Best you and I or anyone of the white and male station is to recognize it and keep it in check. Frankly, that bothers me because I wish privilege wasn't something that existed. But these are the cards we are dealt. So the fight isn't the same for us.
I may be off my mark, but I guess it's like we're practically grafted to the tools of the master. Obviously self mutilation isn't a reasonable compromise, so we're simply going to have to make sure the tools are used in a considerate kind of way or not used at all for that matter. I don't want the privilege myself. But it doesn't divorce you and I from it simply because we understand how ugly the privilege is. It's something we've got to deal with.
