I think we're talking about different kinds of privilege tbh. I wasn't specifically talking about anything to do with university.
Though it is kinda funny, just a week or so ago I saw an experiment where people sent out lots of identical college applications with the only difference being that half had a nondescript name like john and the other half had something a bit more... black? (idk how to phrase that politely) You can probably guess what happened.

And no, we're not. Privilege is privilege. It's not like college is a totally different world and social hierarchies don't already exist. Connections are what matter in this country. In this world.

Well you've been a major a**hole in these forums for the last couple of months. I actually respect you for it. This is a disappointing revelation tbh.

Then that proves you're a child. Real adults don't mind having their way of life condescended to. Shame on you for not rolling over and letting an insult go unmolested. Shame.Molested.

Eh, religion is a little different for me. I make fun of people for being uber Christian all the time. It's required to survive living here, and I hate it being pushed in my face, but it's the most important thing in the world to me. You can make fun of Christians all you want, and call them backwards hicks, but there's something about saying it's stupid to believe in something that always bugs me.
As much as I'm against the concept of belief, I'm sorry if I offended you.
They got in? Because being black will definitely help any college application in a country like America. You think otherwise? If so, you definitely have no idea what you're talking about.And no, we're not. Privilege is privilege. It's not like college is a totally different world and social hierarchies don't already exist.

Interesting question. If you take issue with the way your life is condescended to because it's by someone you deem a "lesser" being, are you still a child?

Black Souls are the most powerful. Grand Souls are a step down. Lesser Souls suck chode.
Children have Black Souls (the very blackest), so they're inherently superior to all condescending douchebags (who are usually just Wights, the pussies).
