   Privilege is the luxury of remaining neutral on issues that destroy less fortunate people’s lives.

     @davep No one is asking you to. Saying you’re neutral on an issue is something quite different to what you just described.

     @aral The problem is that you have to pick your fights. We can't each fight on every front without going totally doolally.

     @alx Exactly.

     (Which is why folks who purport to be so rub me up the wrong way something rotten. I mean, just admit it, you’ve chosen the side of the oppressor. I swear I have more respect for people who do for some morbid reason.)

     @aral I was just talking with my partner on how impossible is to claim to support any fight (whether right ot left, or right or wrong) and remaining 'neutral'. It's like, you can't be neutral if you are fighting for something!
