[QUOTE="carp614, post: 73994214, member: 386520"] So I have an opinion here, but honestly it's such a third rail. Is it even possible to have a productive conversation about this? I won the genetic lottery being born in the US, to educated parents who did some nurturing and set a half decent example of what a contributing member of society looks like. I'm so intensely grateful to the Lord for the embarrassment of riches that is my life and all of the opportunities I have been given. So I guess that makes me the beneficiary of a lifetime of "White Privilege". So when someone tells me to check my privilege what am I supposed to do with that. (Incidentally, no one has said that to me). If I think someone should invest in a 401K, should I say nothing because I need to check my privilege? So the advice, which is objectively good advice, is somehow less valuable because of who I am and where I come from? This seems equivalent to saying only the sinless can talk about the Gospel. Is it not the same as calling anyone who calls sin a sin a hypocrite? [/QUOTE]
