If you pay any attention at all to the news, you've probably seen plenty of footage from the Occupy Movement. Or perhaps something about higher education. Or something about marriage. Race? Probably, check. More likely than not, you've heard the word "privilege" tossed around.
I recently found one of the best essays explaining privilege that I've ever read. On a blog. Here's the post. Read it and think. Dare you to engage someone and have a little tete-a-tete about privilege.

So...what should the dog do?
This is how I imagine the scenario ends.
Dog: Nope! I see my privilege and I hear ya, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still too warm for me.
Gecko: ...fml
Dog: Sorry bud
*dog healthily runs around the house*.
Gecko: ...fuck you.
*poison dog food*
Dog: *nom nom nom* AH!
*dog dies*
(A/C still on. Gecko attempts to turn off A/C, but...tiny fingers can't turn off A/C)
Gecko: ....fml
*Gecko freeze to death*
fin.
Ugh, nvm! too sad, going to change the ending:
Dog: Well, my fur's pretty warm, why don't you come cuddle with me?
Gecko: Okay.
(Gecko and Dog cuddle together, and happily ever after.)
(Good dog right? Wrong. Poor dog.)
Here's why
