And when these things happen because of something you have no control over (your race, your sex, your sexual orientation, the household you were born into, etc) that is called privilege. It doesn't "undersell" your accomplishments, it's just a part of life. There's no harm in acknowledging it.

Seriously, I've forgotten how to put someone on "Ignore."  Will someone show me the steps?  Thanks.

Why does it need to be called privilege?

I didn't create the word. Having a right or advantage based on who you are and the circumstances surrounding you is privilege. It doesn't have to carry a negative stigma.

Having privilege is not a bad thing. The problem is more the Horatio Alger style myth that we are all self made, that success is strictly a product of hard work, whether we are successful or not. Past generations, where we grow up, what our parents do for a living, the presence of one versus two parents, physical and mental health, genetic gifts, all those are different privileges people can possess that were luck of the draw type things.

It's okay to have and acknowledge those things, and important to recognize that oftentimes the success or lack thereof of others can be influenced by those types of factors and not just hard work. Plenty of people work hard and never get anywhere.

Let's make Scoop a safe space from the word privilege
Please use "pigment-conferred upside" instead.

It doesn't matter if you put them on ignore. When someone quotes that person, their idiotic and racist takes show up.

Why does it need to be called privilege?

An example of a privilege I acknowledge. My mother was an early childhood teacher when I was growing up. She initially worked part-time and spent a lot of time at home educating me. Because of this, when I entered Kindergarten, I was reading at a 3rd grade level and knew relatively advanced mathematics for my age. Her teaching gave me an advantage in that class, and because I continued to work hard at school, I was always at or near the top of my class. My mother went back to get her bachelor's, so she maintained her own education and was able to help me with classwork as I progressed so I was taking high school classes in 7th and 8th grade and college courses in high school when APs were less prevalent than they are now. I still had to do the work, but having her both available and trained to aid in my education from the time I was born through high school was a privilege I enjoyed that many other children did not.

This educational privilege made school easier for me from kindergarten through college, knowing I was ahead made test-taking easier and helped me become a good test-taker that continues to help me to this day. And while I did the work, the privilege I gained from having someone in the household that knew techniques to make it easier for me to learn and progress meant that school came relatively easy to me and was rarely a stressful occurrence.

None of it is a bad thing, but it is a circumstance that many children do not enjoy. Having a mother whose schedule mimicked my own allowed for homework assistance as opposed to a family where the mother may have worked second shift or not had the education to aid me in my own progression or any number of other circumstances which would not convey the same privilege I enjoyed due to the sheer luck of being born into the family that I was.

From the mope summit group, probably a lot of yelling and virtue signalling out the windows of their limousines.

I think you might be spot on. Hard for some to get off their soapbox to go help the less privileged.

Why does MU Scoop "need" to be called MU Scoop? Why does America "need" to be called America? Why does Arby's "need" to be called Arby's? Why does indigestion "need" to be called indigestion?

Why does anything "need" to be called what it's called? (Except Real Chili, of course. It being the only REAL chili, it needs to be called exactly what it's called!)

"Virtue signaling."  The latest excuse, following "supply side economics" for conservatives to be selfish.

Please, Goose, we're not using the 'p' word around here.

And, of course.

Respectfully RC, I don't think what it's called makes a lick of difference.

Yes, and it's easier than most would imagine. Simple awareness can make it as easy as where you decide to live and spend money.

My guess is you and I likely have different idea on what "doing anything to the level the playing field" looks like.

You miss my point. I do things that are both active and passive. The point is that when you are aware of your own privilege, it's easier to act in both large and small ways. People who deny the existence of their own privilege make things worse by ignorance alone.
