On white male, hetro privilege.

[eek MD]

36. The point is that they want you to shut up.....

Face it... because you're a member of a class that has advantages over another class, you should never have the right to complain about anything. Your life is gilded. You walk on water. You wake up every morning to breakfast in bed, and have servants to wipe your ass with $100 bills after you crap. Your black country club parking valet parks your Lexus in its own private garage so that there's no chance of errant pigeon crap.

And if you dare to complain about anything, you just "don't get it" because there are so many others that have it so much worse than you. Since your life is gilded, you trivialize their injustices when you complain. So just SHUT UP and feel guilty for being such an oppressive bastard!

Straight White women can still complain about crap that happens to them.... because they're not men and men have it so much better. Forget the fact that they have privilege over black women or gay white women. That doesn't count because all of the crap that happens to them is because of men. How dare you trivialize their suffering by talking about your difficulties?

Straight black men can still complain about crap that happens to them...... because they're not white and white people have it so much better. Forget the fact that they have it better off than gay black men or black women. That doesn't count becuase all of the crap that happens to them is because of whites. How dare you trivialize their suffering by talking about your difficulties?

Gay white men can still complain about crap that happens to them...... Because they're not straight and straight people have it so much better. Forget the fact that they have it better off than gay black men or gay black women. That doesn't count because all the crap that happens to them is because of straight people. How dare you trivialize their suffering by talking about your difficulties?

----------The problem with groups is that they divide people when we need to be working together against a common enemy.... (The 1%) who rules over all and whose only requirement is money and the nerve to stomp over anyone who stands in the way of their power and greed. All of the division only serves to drive people further into the groups that "define" them.........which for straight, white, hetero men (sadly) means toward the republican party. Even more sadly, it seems that many on DU seem to want it that way.
