This is why they punch down. This is why they hate criticism. They know they have privilege, they just hate being called out for it, for others to recognize it. Being born a white man in America puts you at certain advantages and the harder they screech that it doesn’t, the more obvious it is.
Edit: source: am a white guy, understand that i have privileges living in the usa. Have no problem recognizing that fact, or favoring leaders that will balance the scales so everyone gets better treatment and access to food/shelter/healthcare/dignity/more. We’re all human for better or worse, it just feels like we could all be doing so much better if our resources were shared more fairly.
