(1,660 posts)I did not come from the same circumstance they did, not by a long shot. However, what privilege I did have, I recognize it. Just being able to go to college and law school is a privilege in itself.
I went to college and law school. I grew up lower lower middle class neighborhood. My dad didn't give me a dime for school. My mom helped out when she could. I worked here and there and didn't spend money on anything but necessities. I took out student loans that I'll be paying for until I die. Yet, I still recognize the privileges and opportunities I had to even get to the point of getting to higher education and finishing. I will readily admit I was privileged in many ways. However, it seems those with even more privilege, like the Romneys, just can't admit it, like it is admitting some weakness on their part.
