Also, when did privelege become such an evil thing?

The argument goes both ways tho, if people are expected to get over 30 years of not being privileged, we can fix 30 years of ANC fkups

This whole outcry about privilege breaks my head. Are parents not meant to want the best childhood / education / opportunities for their kids? But now in doing so they're putting their children in privileged positions, which is apparently a bad thing.

The hypocrisy....



Fix education
Fix the economy
Change the government

Charity/grants are unsustainable in SA



And whose fault is that?

The whites and their ANC voting ways...

It's about perspective, everyone wants the best for their kids and that isn't a bad thing. It's become an insult/bad word with certain connotations by specific groups, but people are arguing over the word when it is a proxy issue.

It's not bad being privileged, but there are a lot of people that are unprivileged, and like the quality of governments, the quality of life can play a big role in someone's development.

This comic helps just showing the different roads people can take in life based on upbringing and identity - this doesn't mean nobody ever works hard or that some people have easier lives, it just tries t o explain what privilege is without politicizing it or demonizing anyone

This Simple Comic Perfectly Explains Privilege, And Everyone Must Read It

Auckland-based illustrator Toby Morris perfectly summarizes what it means to be privileged with this thought-provoking comic strip. When we say privileged, we're not talking about those people who were born into royalty, or those with millionaire parents. We simply mean those folks who have...

It's simple really... stop trying to decode it rationally.

The dogma of privilege is what a child comes up with to justify taking what another child has because the other child did not completely screw up.

This is not grown up logic.

Judging by that metric I score maybe 4 of on the privileged 1-10 scale.

I demand people give me stuff.

A lot of people had more than I did. I had a lot more than other people, it's a lot more complicated. The most important thing is that people shouldn't be shaming people for having good parents.

SOOOO many assumptions in that comic. The assumption that everyone who had a break in life is unappreciative for one.

I didn't see it as "everyone", it just tried to explain why two people who have the same start in life can end up in very different places.

Assuming someone with privilege is bad is no different to assuming somebody in a lower position than ourselves is "lazy".

envy
a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck

 

[Ponderer]

Hey clownface, 2019 called they want their name calling back. You misunderstand, not no idea, as in I don't have an opinion on the matter, much like you are entitled to have an opinion.There is actually no quick and easy fix to problem. How do you address the socio-economical divide. 10% who are rich 35% middle class and more then 50% that live in poverty. The divide hasn't actually changed much if at all since apartheid.You think moving to the middle of nowhere, you could move away from the left wing and right wing nutters, but look here you are.

Are you a Marxist/Communist?
Do you think Marxism/Communism is a good idea?

Also, when did privilege become such an evil thing?

You do know at some point in our history we didn't have internet, computers or a smart phone glued to our hands.You do know in the 1950's and 60's civil rights movements in the US had marches for equal rights, unrest, violence and wanting to get equal rights go as far back as 1870. You are aware, blacks couldn't own homes, or had trouble getting an education and was barred from doing so in most states.Some even passed laws prohibiting black men from voting.It seems to me that people need a history lesson, America essentially had an apartheid system long before we even did. Jim crow laws, look it up.

why do you say privilege is limited to race?

It is pretty self explanatory, is it not. Considering before the 17th century it refereed to a group of people that shared similar physical and social qualities, it was also used to refer to people of a certain language or nationality, the definition of the word still stand, but it can also be used to describe a specific group with physical traits.The Germanic race or Indian race, it is still pretty much a valid use.

In this instance it was used as a neutral word, as it doesn't say which race and implies any race, if you were to say white race or black race you still generalizing but you get more specific, you can get more specfic by saying the zulu race or khoisan race, however nowadays people just say khoisan or zulus. Using it as the race of zulus is still valid, just uncommon and not used often. How would you use it or describe it then ?

Don't go woke on me now, I don't know how I would cope without your daily dose of meme pictures

I could ask you Are you daft/or trolling, does it seem like a good idea.
So how would you go about fixing inequality ?

The main problem in practice is the bar for privileged has been artificially lowered and scapegoating has started to milk resources out of the successful.
