(37,573 posts)It cannot be about people who just happen to disagree?
You know, basically decent people, allies even, who have a different point of view about some issues or concepts?
I don't have to fear that I cannot succeed in life if there is new, added competition. My active life is pretty much over. I have ALREADY failed. I realized that a dozen years ago, and pretty much gave up. I took my swings. I struck out. It is what it is.
And yet I am told that the failure that I am was privileged to have played life at the easiest possible setting and still has all kind of privileges associated with my gender, my race and my sexual orientation.
I am afraid that I take issue with that.
Maybe I am afraid I will get reincarnated as a white guy in the United States again.
