Wow! What a wonderful educated statement


It I am privileged, it might be because I've been working since I was 12 (cutting grass and shoveling snow) From 15 through my early years in college I worked maintenance at one of the first shopping centers in the US AND delivering flowers (Yep in a company truck with no drivers license)


I paid my own way through college by working full time while carrying 18-24 credits a quarter (I took 2 classes at same time and also went to night school for one class) in earning a 5 year degree WHILE MARRIED!


I worked my entire life, from 12 until I retired at 72. And, even though retired, I still take on consulting projects. I worked hard for everything I have. If that makes me privileged, thank God!



Jews are not the most privileged people in America. What we are is educated, willing to work hard and for the most part having two loving parents at home supporting and teaching us right from wrong


What we are is leaders (not the only leaders by far) in business, science, medicine, entertainment and so on in the US and the world.



From your comment, my guess is that you are none of the above and so you take it out on us!


God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!

You missed the sarcasm in my statement but yes, Jews are the most privileged in our society and yes, I think you've earned it (well most of it anyway).

That's part of the problem......
Well you have to consider for conservatives, Jews tend to run liberal at around 90%, have said nasty things about white America and there are theories out there and some evidence that are against white. I even saw a Jewish liberal on here admit "Yes we absolutely will replace you (whites). "

Also conservatives are really, if not the only, the strongest supporters of Israel and Jews.

But what reasoning do liberals and non-whites have to be anti-Jewish than bias against light skin color, success and being racist against anyone seen as mostly white?

Yet Jews routinely vote democrat, despite the widespread anti-semiticism in the dem party.

Unless you're talking about the Richard Spencer types, then probably not.
Agree, I and every white folks I know see most probably over 90% American Jews as white and most all of them are "whiter" in appearance than me who's of British/NW European descent.

About your point that Jews have earned their wealth through education and hard work I say yes and that would also be true of whites, Asians and black Africans that are privileged in the USA through hard work and education. Why would it be more disgusting and vile to even think or talk about Jews American privilege more so than white privilege? (hint, it wouldn't)
Exactly how are we (Jews) the most privileged of all Americans? I truly want to know.

Amen! It seems that this word “privilege” is shorthand for “having parents who are married (at least during one’s formative years), emphasizing education, studying hard and winning academic scholarships to college, and then having the grit, discipline, and willingness to work hard to start and run a successful business.”

My bad.

I believe Jews are somewhat privileged because you're not allowed to criticize them. But i rank it this way from least privileged to most privileged:

White
Asian/Indian
Jewish
Hispanic
Black
