Remember the good ol' days when "privileged" referred to 1%ers? Now it applies to me, a white unemployed male. And of course the irony is the people most likely to bandy these kinds of terms about, come from well-heeled families. The new left is so far gone and are blowing it for centrist/traditional left

It's on average less bad to be white than to be black in the U.S.: affirmative. No sensible person disagrees.

Blah blah blah "white privilege": eye roll.

Winston, this is my own experience with white privilege:

After being married for a few years, I applied for a credit card, and had one issued in my wife's name, who, you might remember, came from the Philippines.

For a few years after that, in many cases where she wanted to use it, she had to show ID. At the same time, whenever I used the same card, I was never asked for ID, even though my clothing was usually a lot more casual and sloppy than anything she wore when she went out shopping.

As I said, it stopped after a few years of her becoming familiar in the stores around town, but I still can't think of a logical answer to the way she was treated compared to me, other than her skin color and accent.


P.S. I am not a crank.
