Black Lives Matter has forced a discussion of white privilege. But there are other kinds of privilege, some more toxic.
Wealth privilege: Money talks and money buys and personal values are on the market.
Power privilege: Above the law and out of reach.
Pretty privilege: Looking good and being beautiful gets all kinds of perks and special circumstances…and some envy, too.
Hunk privilege: Put time in the gym and you are worshipped and exude intelligence and self-confidence.
Education privilege: The doors open for the pedigree degree.
Influencer privilege: A relatively new category, but if you can sell it, fame is yours.
Celebrity privilege: Not only fame and money in entertainment and sports, but sponsorships, sales pitches and lots of fawning.
