It's simple really... stop trying to decode it rationally.
I disagree.
You have to "decode it rationally" - you must think - you must use logic.
Otherwise you are "thinking" with/using your emotions (fee-fees).
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.
Privilege is not dogma.
Life is not fair.
Understand it, get used to it, get over it, and get on with it.
This is not grown up logic.

That's part of the point.... they are thinking with their emotions. Emotional thinking is incomprehensible to logic.

You are still trying to argue rationally with the irrational. You try to argue on more developed adult level than what the privileged dogma functions.

Think like a child, dumb your faculties down, you will understand it better.

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.
No - nobody knew any of these things until now.
Thanks so very much for telling us these things.

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 ?
What is your point?

I could ask you Are you daft/or trolling, does it seem like a good idea.
So how would you go about fixing inequality ?
Why are you avoiding the question?
I asked whether or not you think Marxism/Communism is a good idea.
Do you think Marxism/Communism is "the solution"?

You don't. There has always been, and will always be inequality. Inequality of itself isn't a problem, poverty is. We should focus on poverty alleviation.
The problem is that inequality was created by someone else, it was directly influenced, by baring people, from owning land, a house, better jobs, voting, ect, ect. The inequality was artificially created, if it naturally occurred as things do, fine it happens everywhere, aging infrastructure, housing, loss of jobs, businesses closing, a mine closes, there are many instances where it naturally occurred, which were beyond the control of people, But there is a case to be made for the artificially created inequality.

pride
pride is an excessive preoccupation with self and one's own importance, achievements, status, or possessions.

people crying about someone elses privilege, is their proud way of justifying their envy

no it is not pretty self explanatory why you think privilege is limited to race, that is why i asked you.

privilege is an advantage one has above another. it is a constant of life, you cannot eliminate it.

take 2x black/white/yellow/red/brown of the same colour skin people. one has a job the other has not, one is privileged the other is not. it has nothing to do with their race.

you for example, are privileged to be conversing here, while another of 'your race' cannot.

When you want to see what the conversation is about and you remember why you blocked someone.:

Quick question.What happens to a town or area when majority of the mines close down, or railway towns. What happens when a country like the British having essentially de-industrialized with the mining and car manufacturing, shipping building and other general manufacturing collapsing, mining towns in the USA.Have you ever had a look at detriot, Brownsville brooklyn. Japan's pretty much abandoned towns and villages.

Hillbrow is an inner city residential neighbourhood of Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa. It is known for its high levels of population density, unemployment, poverty, prostitution and crime
Ironically a previously affluent area, there is many instances of this across the world, where affluent areas essentially collapsed into essentially slums.
On the other hand you could also create it artificially by means segregation. Do you really think people living in shacks had a choice in the matter.What happens when you essentially collapse a perfectly fine working railway system that use to deliver goods across South Africa and those intersecting towns, last time I checked these towns have essentially stopped functioning almost completely.

I know people are dumb but never actually expected you to be one of them

You do know, I JUST explained the definition of race and completely ignore it.:rolleyes:

A: any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry

B: a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background

I did ask you in my nicest alabamian accent whether or not you are one of them gender fluid folks ? Seems the joke is lost on you but okay. Lets play your game. You could be the female reincartion of Elvis Presley, or so you say.You could be whomever you want to be, whether you want to identify as a rock, or a space alien from the former planet known as Pluto, I really couldn't be bothered what you want to call your self.I am quite happy to call you whatever sedimentary rock formation you want be.
