I seem to have lost it the day I was born and brought home to the projects where I was raised in utter poverty with four and then five other children. I wish I had it when I just left school and no one gave a shit or when I was arrested for having a tiny nugget of pot after the cops were called because my then boyfriend was threatening me and refusing to get out of my car in a grocery store parking lot. That imaginary privilege really could have come in handy at many points during my life. Could you see if maybe it's in the hall closet, darling? I might see if I can use it when we go to get a home loan with money we've saved completely by ourselves. Maybe they'll give me the "white girl" rate instead of the "white trash" one I've been looking forward to.
But you're white. So, of course you're still more privileged than the Obama girls.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
