Not a Tailor

I flunked out of the sentence formulation class when they told me I couldn't use words over two sentences and that the thesis of every sentence needed to be 'freedom/America is being threatened,' 'whites are being threatened,' 'X non-white group is taking our jobs' or 'all others but whites are lazy bums who just want to take white tax money.'

Pretty clear cut, isn't it? She took the picture and sent it to her BF who sent it onward to another person. Case closed.

What is wrong with looking into it when everyone is not being treated equally?

So twelve dollars per year, per American resident goes towards Planned Parenthood, which provides much more than simply abortions? I'm... failing to see an issue with women being able to get gynaecological examinations and birth control or with young people being able to get confidential STD testing, you know, that thing that helps prevent the spread of HIV? They also provide sexual health and sexuality education, things that again help prevent the spread of STDs and which helps to prevent abuse in relationships.

What's the problem, considering that around 80% of the people using their services make less than 150% of the poverty line?

Or do you want the very poor to be having babies they can't afford and spreading STDs?

Ever heard someone say "No such thing as a stupid question?"

I now can say that yes, there most definitely is. Thank you.

Check your privilege is a real thing, however I find it highly suspect that a man named Tal was told it. His name is clearly 'ethnic' in some way and that implies his family has experienced ingrained, systemic hardship, so he's not a super privileged white guy.
The phrase is meant for white guys named Brad (or the like) who sit in a gender studies class (which in today's day and age studies racial discrimination and its intersection with gendered issues, not just gender) and whine that they can't understand why that girl living in a homeless shelter with no job prospects and a family that's been in poverty for four generations, a girl whose study time is impaired by needing to spend time looking after younger cousins, doesn't just hunker down and study and get scholarships to go to university rather than talking to a researcher about the things she feels are holding her back from improving her 'station' in life. That's what the phrase 'check your privilege' is for. Because that white guy named Brad, who comes from a neighbourhood where everyone has three cars, a pool, a trampoline, a gardener and whose studying was 'assisted' by tutors his parents hired whenever he struggled has no idea what someone in another position might have keeping them from just working through it.
I mean, obviously there are a spectrum of 'Brad's and not all of them come from super rich families, but the fact is that a white guy named Brad is going to have an easier time finding a job than a brown-skinned girl named Shawntelle even if both Brad and Shawntelle went to the same schools, got the same marks, did the same internships and are applying for the same jobs. Even if Shawntelle got higher marks, worked harder at the internships and has applied for more jobs, in a wider variety of paygrades, Brad is going to have an easier time finding a job. That's Brad's privilege as a white male.
A guy named Tal, on the other hand, is going to have his resume put in the same pile as Shawntelle's resume--the one for people who might come from 'irregular' backgrounds.
