Assuming one has the economic means to overcome that, there remains a difference in how a person might be able to live there in the absence of that privilege.
Quote:This is false for the obvious reason that it isn't granted to white people and she didn't get that privilege by being white.You don't know what white privilege is, so how could you determine that something is true or false? You seem to think that..even in this instance, the privilege being referred to is akin to someone being granted a house on the basis of their being white. The white version of 40acres and a mule, lol.
I'm commenting on the same list Jordan Peterson is commenting on and the way it's presented.
If her list is what white privilege is then I'd simply suggest a name change more suitable, like "Jane Doe" privilege or whatever her name is.
Because it's her privilege and not a privilege for white people
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
