    Upper class for sure. But that's because the peasantry squabble over shit that doesn't matter like race, sexuality, and ethnicity because they are stupid. They miss the big picture because, once again, they are stupid and deserve their lot in life being trampled under the heels of their superiors.
    You're getting exactly what you deserve.

You're basically looking at the end result of causality by numbers and stretching it over your own world view.

    No, I do not agree with this and you can argue with me until you're blue in the face but it is complete and utter tripe.
    Hang on, you say that wealth is the biggest determinant of privilege then when I discuss it you say that white people are wealthier because they are the status quo/majority/standard therefore it is meaningless to compare white people with brown/black people financially. So why bring up wealth in the first place if you don't want to discuss it. Comparing rich white people to less wealthy white people discerning that the richer you're the more powerful you're and extrapolating this to other races is "horseshit". For meaningful discussion we need to compare across races, across genders and across orientations - all at the same time not within races. What you have done is akin to stating that 2+2 is 4 and then dropping the mic as though you've made quite the revelation. Lol kudos

    Pulling facts from your asshole doesn't make for good source material, OP.


    Do you even understand what privilege is? What it actually entitles in this context? I'm thinking it is a no because there is no fucking way on this earth that homosexuality has ever been a privileged group.


    Show me this magical land of entitlement and privilege please. I'll buy a ticket and be the first to head to such a place.

    Says the individual that rants on about how gays of all people have greater privilege while just about every last other individual would argue the contrary.

    You want to sit here and try to discuss things in an abstract, ass-backwards manner. You want to equate the rich to the poor; yet neither shall meet in the middle, period, and that's what you fail to understand - they simply can't. That betwixt the poor white man and poor black men is a gap only imagined by the elite. There is no divide. Poor is poor. Rich is rich. One holds power while the other suffers beneath that power.

    Being white or being black doesn't mean anything when you're poor. You're both poor. You're both powerless. You both lack privilege. One might believe otherwise but that belief does not change reality itself. So going off on a tangent about gays while ignoring the biggest factor in determining one's privilege(wealth) makes you not only look like a fool but someone simply trying to stir up the pot.

    Fucking sick of this shit.

    How would you correctly quantify privilege? Even when using a scoring model your weightings would still be influenced by bias. So this poll and the OP are giving me the impression that it's all down to "Please, I urge you to agree with me on that gays are absurdly privileged - like epitome of privilege. Period."

    Whatever Shinra is, I've never seen someone so prejudice before. The fact that he is allowed to spew his insanity just shows how privileged he is.

    The most privileged group isn't going to vote for itself.

This wealth discussion is a red herring from privileged white straight/gay men in a bid to distract from their own privilege and have everyone sing along and direct their hate towards the 1%, wall street and corporations. /Yawn

    Finally, I want to mention that a white people are richer on the whole than minorities so yes skin colour (and the privilege it grants) plays a major role on financial outlook, from inheritance, whites receiving better education and thus getting higher paying jobs and subsequently living in better/family oriented neighbourhoods.
    Probably because the topic is pointless and attempting to simplify complex issues

    Combining two banned topics (gender and race) into one thread doesn't get around the banned topics rules. Locking this here.
