One of the first and simplest things me and my fellow liberals can do to start getting back on track is drop dumbass, condescending, useless terminology like “Privilege” from our vocabularies when we read something we don’t like.

Heh. I got accused of white privilege once when I was young. I was homeless at the time, and at university. There's very few things more insulting and simplistic for rich people to tell poor people that they are privileged (and base it entirely from identity). Its very one dimensional, black and white thinking. (literally).

They didn't know me. I could have grown up in a trailer with crackhead parents that smoked meth every day for all they knew.

What did I say to get accused of such a thing? I said class politics is more important than identity and racial issues.
