People push back on the concept of privilege because it has been used by dishonest actors who want to take something from those who have something.

Privilege is an inherent part of life and
goes far beyond being an American.

If you are healthy, you are privileged.
If you are fed, you are privileged.
If you have positive relations with others, you are privileged.
If you have an enjoyable profession, you are privileged.
If you have security for those you love, you are privileged.
If you are alive to enjoy the glory of life and creation, you are privileged.

Many people wish to tear people down - instead build others up. Instead of looking for the privilege in others, find it in yourself. Instead of focusing on how you’ve been disadvantaged, find things to be grateful for.

Anyone who denies privilege as a reality is certainly being dishonest or ignorant. But it’s also a defense mechanism against socialist thinking.
