So racism means a poor white guy is more privileged than a rich black guy. I'm sure that privilege is comforting to the poor.

The original argument was that a lot of people, not just wealthy cishet Christian whites, were blind to institutional oppression, and this is how we ended up with TErmup in the White House. You're turning it into a WHAT ABOUT THE WHITES argument. Intersectionality includes class and acknowledges poverty as an absolute crushing injustice, but you sticking your neck out to remind everyone that not all whites are rich is a red flag that you're full of poo poo.

An easy way to tell if someone understands what privilege actually is; is to ask if a homeless white guy has more privilege than Ben Carson.

Strictly speaking, there isn't really a "more" privilege. It would be closer to say "more privileges."

Like how a D&D character doesn't have "more feat," but as they grow more powerful they have more "feats."

Problem is most people who used words like 'intersectionality' absolutely didn't, and were the first ones to complain about Bernie Bros 'putting economic justice before social justice'.

"Having white privilege" isn't the same thing as "being economically secure." However, economic security is a right, rather than a privilege.

Not acknowledging this results in helping fewer children.

However, it's really convenient for Democrats who want to look like saints for not opposing abortion and gay marriage while also pleasing their wealthy donors in the health insurance lobby!

p much, or waiting for the heat to die down around the name

quote:

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton announced Monday she is a "definite maybe" to run for political office in the future, saying she is "outraged every day by something our president has done or said or left undone or neglected."

"At the federal level, as much as I abhor so much of what President Trump is doing, I have a great amount of gratitude for what my congresswoman and my senators are doing to try to stop him at every point,” Clinton told attendees.

"I think I’m just so fundamentally my mother’s daughter that I’m far more outraged by the Trump administration ripping children away from their families at the border and not having reunified those children with their families now for months, than I am about anything he has ever done to my families,” she added. 

“I think my family ... is being really well represented," Clinton said. "But if that were to change, if my city councillor were to retire, if my congresswoman were to retire, my senators, and I thought that I could make a positive impact, then I think I would really have to ask my answer to that question."

She clarified: “For me it’s a definite 'no' now, but it’s a definite 'maybe' in the future because who knows what the future is going to bring."
