Do Check Your Privilege
Everyone, please do check you privileges. Oh, not in the manner that the Liberals and Progressives mean for you to do so in order to delegitimize any opinion that you might have that dissents against their agenda and closely held beliefs. Instead check your privileges and, if possible, enumerate them for yourselves because the privileges you’ve earned or your ancestors earned for you will go along way towards defining the character of your culture.
I would say that, even more than rights, privileges are the fundamental metric of what any people value and hold dear.

So long as rights are not considered privileges to be controlled by the “masters”.

cmblake6,
True, but there’s a long-standing and increasingly strong argument over what are rights and what are privileges.
