[QUOTE="Rion, post: 71683585, member: 166965"] No, the problem with 'privilege' is that it's mostly a bunch of navel-gazing horse hockey that allows people to excuse why they haven't succeeded without accounting for their own shortcomings. The idea that some poor white guy in the backwoods of Alabama somehow has more inherent privilege than a rich black guy in San Francisco is devoid of reason and divorced from reality. Unless a government has done something directly to negatively impact you, the only reason a flag, anthem, etc. is going to trigger you is because you are consumed with identity politics and self-indulgence. This is coming from someone whose ancestors were either already here and got screwed out of their land several times over or came here and were treated as barely human. With American Indians, there's basically a major divide between those of us who refused to let the past consume us, and those who continue to wallow in grievances done by those long dead to others who are long dead.
