There is no privilege when you live behind a dumpster. There is no privilege in a work house for the majority of the workers that, if Big Business get their way, will be coming again.

Fight the fight for equality is great. But watch who is bringing it up. Watch what is going on. The upper echelon has the best Spinners money can buy. They want us to spread out. They want us to stop looking at fairness for all. They want us to alienate each other, It is necessary for them to if they want to keep working at their main goal.
