    Yet another variant of “Shut Up!”

    This guy, a supposed poster child for white male privilege takes flamethrower to those who use that cheap cop-out.

    quote:
    “Perhaps it’s the privilege my grandfather and his brother had to flee their home as teenagers when the Nazis invaded Poland, leaving their mother and five younger siblings behind…”

    “Maybe my privilege is that they worked hard enough to raise four children, and to send them to Jewish day school and eventually City College.”

    “It was my privilege that my grandfather was blessed with resolve and an entrepreneurial spirit, and that he was lucky enough to come to the place where he could realize the dream of giving his children a better life than he had.”

    “I have checked my privilege. And I apologize for nothing.”

    Taxcutter says:
    This guy writes very well for a college freshman.

    I’ve been check my privilege, but I can’t find it.

    Anybody who uses “Check your privilege” richly deserves having the flamethrower turned on them.
