Corner of Bourbon & Division

I take people for who they are and I expect the same. I don't have any respect for prejudice and bigotry per se, but it is part of the human condition and some people who are prejudiced and bigoted have their redeeming qualities. At any rate, I refuse to feel guilty or sorry for someone else because someone who bears some arbitrary resemblance to me peed in their cornflakes. The concept of "privilege" is a destructive and divisive idea. If you want to get rid of prejudice then just get rid of it and treat people as individuals and demand that they treat you accordingly. Running around trying to convince people that they are "privileged" or "unprivileged" solves nothing. In fact, it makes the problem worse because it polarizes people into contentious groups.
