(62,325 posts)to go around the world killing perfectly innocent, men, women and children? THAT is what privilege means to many of our victims.
We are a fraction of the world's population but we claim superiority over cultures who are far more numerous, with histories that go back way further than ours. We are unapologetic about the slaughter and torture of 'lesser' people. Our Military Generals order the troops to treat our victims 'like dogs'.
I find it hard to worry too much about our internal squabbles when I see the photos of the bodies of the beautiful little 'brown' children we feel it necessary to kill 'for our very privileged' security.
But maybe it's just me, who can't overlook the crimes we have, as a nation, all of us, committed against ethnicities we apparently view as inferior to us.
