Privilege? What privilege?
Perhaps white women have privilege, with all those scholarships and all those college preparedness classes and groups girls get before they go into college.
This white guy grew up poor, busted my ass to get in college, while nogs are over there complaining about not getting into college. I've seen stupid fucking idiot blacks much better off than my family ever was financially STILL FUCKING UP AND NOT HANDLING THEIR SHIT.
We were always poor and we didn't go robbing shit, neither did the other poor families we knew, fuck you with the socioeconomic pseudoscience sociology preaches.
I never once got a one up in anything, I earned everything so far and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I will enjoy the rewards my hard work has put in. Privilege had nothing to do with it. Go fuck yourself shillary and all the feminists and liberals too, I'll never help out any woman or minority, they already have enough help from the "let government be our nanny" crowd.

I was born in a trailer park. Sometimes my family didn't have electricity. I studied hard, got a merit scholarship. I worked an internship for shit pay my whole senior year. Now I'm an engineer who lives in a nice house in the suburbs and I make about $80k/yr.
Don't give me shit about privilege. I'm self-made.

Grew up poor. Single mother. I went off to the Army to pay for college. I made my own way. It may have also cost me some lifelong injuries from the service, but fuck it, I am able to get my shit done with.

How far we've fallen from meritocracy.
