I'd explain it to you, but talking to brick walls can be so exhausting. Let's just say that "privilege" in this particular discussion isn't always related to economics.

Cliff notes: innocent white children should be shamed at an increasingly young age.
College students are overwhelmingly adults.
But don't let facts stop you from a knee-jerk post.
