You can't sell white privilege to people who work their asses off, pay their taxes, obey the law, and don't ask for anything from anybody.

@SW-User This is bizarre, does a job and taxes render one blind?

@QuixoticSoul Some day when you have a job you will understand

@sunsporter1649 I’ve had a job since I was 16.

@QuixoticSoul I can see both sides. Especially when a billionaire spouts off.

@SW-User Weird levels of class resentment - are you a communist of some sort? What is the problem with billionaires?
SW-User
@QuixoticSoul Communism is a great idea that can never work.

@SW-User You are only permitted to have one opinion, the opinion that is in total agreement with his

@sunsporter1649 Sounds positively Trumpian.

@SW-User If not a communist - what’s the beef with rich people?

@QuixoticSoul Most rich people are soulless bastards.

@sunsporter1649 Nah sporty, disagreement is great, room for lots of rational viewpoints out there. Remember that I constantly ding you for black and white thinking among your many other cognitive handicaps.

@SW-User That’s commie thinking - literally the sort of stuff they taught us in the USSR.

@QuixoticSoul To attain great wealth and maintain integrity, honesty, and decency is in most cases impossible. Unless you win the lottery of course.

@SW-User Lmao this is seriously my grade school indoctrination coming back bwahaha.

Being rich doesn’t make you a bad person, and not everyone gets there by being a shark.

@QuixoticSoul There are exceptions of course, but for the most part, it holds true.

@sunsporter1649 Vova keeps commies in check.

@SW-User Most people are shit in general tbh 🤷‍♂️

Regardless, self-made billionaires are naturally predisposed to the bootstraps way of thinking, so Oprah is actually somewhat atypical - but those are details, really. Ultimately the privilege situation is pretty undeniable in our society, even if how it works out in life is neither uniform nor purely deterministic.
