This Tweet explains so much about the divide in this country
If there are two applicants for a position who are “equal on paper” and one of them was born with advantages and privilege and the other was not, then they are not equal. The person WITHOUT the advantages has in fact done and proven themselves more based on starting from behind.

I’m a white guy without any significant disabilities and an above average IQ, raised by two middle-class college educated parents.
That will forever be hung around my neck like a millstone and used to punish me by Woke activists.
When I complain that I was turned down for every job and first to be fired if I am hired because of my “privileges” and “advantages,” they will ridicule me and tell me to shut up because I have privileges” and “advantages.”
The hard work that my parents and ancestors put in to give their children every opportunity will be weaponized against me.
So why should I want to continue to participate in their society, where I know I will never get a fair shake?
If you want to know where the rise in middle-class white supremacism and the alt-right is coming from, it’s white guys who answer that question with “I shouldn’t.”
Bigotry begets bigotry. The Woke Left is the greatest recruiting tool white supremacism ever had.
