(60,320 posts)If you were seriously objecting to the meme, then there is the open question of what it is about the meme that you object to. Without the explanation that you pretended to not have time for, we might imagine that you question the existence of the privilege or you might feel that invoking it is over-used as a talking point or that there is some but not much privilege. We might imagine that you took exception to it in conjunction with the jewish faith of Bernie Sanders. Or perhaps you feel that Sanders' success disproves the meme. Or that Sanders would not have been elected if he faced Trump. Maybe you feel that it somehow doesn't apply to the thread topic.
You know unambiguously what you were thinking. We can't read your thoughts.
I phrased it the way I did because I did not want to assume any one of the possible attitudes you might have had or possible perspectives you might be championing. I did not want to assume one and attack that only to find you meant something else, this being DU and all.
So I issued it as an invitation, but also politely recognizing that you might be busy or might have made it as a toss-off comment without much thought.
Hence the easy out made available to you, since I didn't want to assume you hadn't given it much thought.
But you can take it whatever way you want.
It seems you have chosen to take the personal insult route with epithets of "dense" or "couldn't properly articulate".
You can leave it there if you like.
