Now flip that around, see that it's not fair that you were born into advantages you don't necessarily deserve and you're not a completely self-made person only by your efforts and work ethic, and boom, you understand white privilege

Nah, I came from pretty humble (very poor) beginnings. Worked a full-time manufacturing job overnights for 10 years while running my Lawn/Landscaping business during the day as a solo operation for 6 of those years. That unique work ethic is why I am where I am in life. Not my skin color.... I'm bullish on that, my friend.

I never said I was better than anybody. There's obviously a lot of variables, but I'll out work most people; that's where I've always seen my advantage over others.... If a Native-American my age has access to free money/housing/insurance out of the gate (beginning adulthood) and I don't have any of that, it sounds like if either of us have a leg-up on the other it'd be him over me....

We would watch that over and over with my kids when they were younger. We still use that quote and others from that show.
"Never jump in a pile of wet leaves with a wet sucker" and "I demand restitution" are a couple more of our favorites.
