White privilege..

   Do you suppose this fellow realizes how much "white privilege' he enjoys?  Do you suppose his kids are beneficiaries of massive "generational wealth"?

Good post IG. My father was born to a poor tobacco farmer in the hills of Kentucky. That didn’t mean he was destined to follow that path, he used his head and his ambition to do better. He retired as a Master Sergeant, worked a second career in civil service, retired and continued to work with a contractor. People that want to do for themselves, do for themselves. People wanting handouts, while contributing nothing, point fingers, cast blame and call names.

  We seem to have a kinship of experiences, MOA..  I was born a "child of the depression"..  Depression was bad enough for nearly everyone, but my folks were he=it extra hard by misfortunes after the depression was past.  With the deaths of 3 sons out of a family of 10 children (due to SIDS, polio and a drunk driver)..another brother born with massive medical problems (no medical insurance back then)...then our house burned down with everything in it !

  Tough going for an extra 10 years...but as the tragedies abated, things improved for them.

  Generational wealth ?  Hah!  All I ever got was my Dad's old shotgun..which I later passed to a nephew as a keepsake. If there was any inheritance, I saw none..

  Nevertheless, the wife and I did OK, despite losing one of our two sons to a truck crash.

  My remaining son and his children are doing quite well, so I thank God !  ...When I hear the term, "generational wealth", I can only chuckle softly to myself !

‘Generational Wealth’. Somewhat akin to the story of the “Ant and the Grasshopper”, generationally speaking.

  White privilege, according to Democrats and liberals, are the only people that can be racist.

  ...And curiously; it is some of the whitest, highest educated and most privileged, that fall for that crap !  These are the spoiled rich, who have a  guilty conscience for being fabulously wealthy, who didn't earn it themselves, and were terribly spoiled from the cradle on up !
