Privilege

In the very beginning of the emerging Nazi Party in Germany, some very wealthy Jews of Berlin, the families of corporations, philanthropies, and dominance were certain that with their financial influence, and government favors that they might be spared the brutality afforded non-wealthy German Jews. After all these families were the at the foundation of German cultural life, and if asked they were not only Germans first but indeed Berliner’s. Sadly the families that had always been above the fray of the common Jew learned a lesson that during the time of Nazi’s a Jew, wealthy or poor was considered a very bad thing. These families discovered that difference did not matter.

Megyn Kelly is a privileged wealthy white female who had lived in a very cushy Ivory Tower insisting that even as a female she was a little less like most of the female population of the United States. Megyn was a sure footed host of a fake news show and pretended that above all else she was and is a fair and balanced journalist. Megyn would hold court on her “fair and balanced” faux news hour, telling women that she can not understand why a woman would want men to offer her the same income as her husband. Megyn would lecture the lives of women who embraced Obamacare as deadbeats who if they really cared about their health would be able to afford real capitalistic insurance. Megyn insisted that it was possible to balance work and home but REAL women were mothers who found much more happiness with an apron around their waist and a necklace around their necks. Megyn pretended that her poop did not smell the same as  many of the average women’s poop because she was special, and in reality most other women were not. And then Megyn discovered that as a female in the United States there are many people who believe she is nothing more then a subservient, submissive piece of chattel. Megyn who had embraced a very archaic political party known as the T-Bagging Christian Conservatives was no longer embraced back!

Ian Reisner and his Gay bud Mati Weiderpass own oodles of property that Gay men in particular love to visit and play hard. Hotels and bars which cater to the homosexual community are at the heart of Ian and Mati’s enterprise. These two Gay men define themselves as being a little more important then most other Gay men, and love themselves some luxury life. Ian and Mati don’t think that they are part of any Gay agenda and in fact have their own agenda one in which fair and equal is not necessarily a good thing… (it is for them of course) but not the common Gay man or woman. If you got money, you suddenly are in a different category of Gay and if you got a whole lot of money you live in a stratosphere where the difference between you and everyone else is a whole lot of difference. So Mati and Ian believed that no one would notice when they hosted  fund raising events for two men, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator Ron Johnson who have stated for the record that same-sex marriage is offensive and something Jesus would scoff at. Mati and Ian think because they poop in a gold plated toilet the shit that drips out of them is beautiful. If Ted Cruz becomes president, or Mike Huckabee or for that matter any of the T-Bagging Republicans, Mati and Ian are going to find that a pink triangle can be sewn onto $7000 suits as well as clothes from Target!

When we believe that for some reason OUR life is not like others we become stupid. When we think that who we are matters differently then others we become caught. When we think that just because we have privilege we can pretend that OUR life matters and other lives don’t, we become trapped and trampled like the wealthy families of Berlin, Megyn Kelly and Mati and Ian!
