privilege, n.All

Privilege is what people truly value in this world -- not rights.

Privilege is where complaint feels at home; the powerless know that no one is listening.

Privilege is not about what you've gone through, it's what you haven't had to go through

Privilege is peculiar — people of privilege will always risk their complete destruction rather than surrender any material part of their advantage.

Privilege is private law.

Privilege is already there for one who has any choice at all.

Privilege is exemplified by the notion of the time machine. Only a white person could be excited at the idea of going back to nearly any time or place in history.

Privilege is rooted in a dual demand: first, that the privileged need to be conscious of their privileges, and secondly, that the deprived be fully conscious of their deprivation.
