RE: How do you explain privilege to a broke ass white guy?

in #life7 years ago

Intersectionality. I like it. I can't see it happening anytime in the near future. But I like it!

There are so many variables that make the equation of the individual. I've met a homeless nomad who loves that life who was one of the most intelligent humans I have encountered. And I have watched privileged college kids losing IQ points on the Jersey Shore.

My youngest son is trying to join Steemit. He has been fascinated by watching me. He had a profound moment when we were putting the candy in the jar for our steemit contest yesterday, and told me that I need to do another one soon with all colors and sizes to represent that anyone can join and succeed on Steemit.

Proud Mama :D

Yup. Same! I've met homeless people that are abundantly happy and wouldn't change their life for anything and I know people that have everything you can think of yet are desperately unhappy and always trying to be 'better' than their peers. Not in this lifetime, no.

I love Darwins explanation of evolution. "It's not the strongest that will survive, it is those that are robust enough to withstand change"

You son sounds awesome! More of that please :)

I'm happy he's wanting to join, he's going to make a wonderful addition :)

If he's anything like you I'll be following him :)
