Because we're not naming the cause of the privilege, but rather the recipient.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Can't really talk about Blexit without shouting out Brandon Straka and #WalkAway.

This is like a wildebeest thinking the herd is not going out of its way Enough to protect it, so it would be safer near the lions if it were alone.    Perhaps it thinks being alone confers a mystical self-sufficiency adequate for fighting off the packs of lions. 

I think the wildebeest gene pool improves thanks to this inspired decision.

The great thing about equality is that even some black people get to enjoy being referred to as ignorant.

Whether anyone enjoys being referred to as it is irrelevant.   The only thing that should matters is do anyone’s actions bespeak of it.

Oftentimes, words are misrepresented as intelligence, when realistically the meaning behind the words is counter-productive to the type of progress that represents equality.

Hearing fewer things that cause discomfort and offense is often misrepresented as progress and empowerment, when in fact the real gap is better closed by listening to and digesting some of those things well rather than Harp on the discomfort they cause and be offended by them.

The only thing that causes me discomfort is witnessing someone widen the kind of divide among their own people that ensures inequality remains a reality.

When a good number of “own” people are uniting around an superficially alluring but self deceptive and self defeating path, widening the divide may be the only way to limit the damage.

Subjectively, people can deceive themselves by convincing themselves that what they believe and what they are doing is for the benefit of their people. Antagonists always think they are doing what is right, but being on the right side of history is more important than siding with delusional separation schemes.

Objectively, a wayward path results not in unity but conflicting strife.
