“…#Conservatives have taken to referring to #DEI as ‘didn’t earn it.’ But to the extent that the candidates are running on #unearned #advantages related to personal bio, this better describes #Trump & #JDVance than it does #Harris, who #worked her way up from local to state to federal office over the course of decades.
“Trump was born a #multimillionaire who drove one business after another into the ground, & his reputation as a brilliant businessman is largely due to him playing one on TV.

Completely forgotten about this banger of an article by Dr Muna Abdi, from Sheffield Uni, a connection lost in the Twitter Diaspora.
Addresses the inherent problems around the language of "allyship" and "privilege" and, even better offers alternatives, such as "solidarity" and "unearned structural advantage". Very much worth a read (even a boost or tag a friend?)

I contend that if you wish me to respect the "common humanity" of a #billionaire and his paid lackeys languishing at the bottom of the #abyss, you are morally obligated to first prove the #humanity of the billionaire, who assuredly did not become a billionaire by respecting the "common humanity" of the people he exploited to gain his #wealth.
No living billionaire created the #privilege that granted them #unearned riches, but they made a conscious #choice to perpetuate it.

#Grace is the first ingredient necessary for growing up in the image of God.
Grace is #unbroken, uninterrupted, #unearned, and accepting #relationship.
It is the kind of relationship humanity had with God in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve were loved and provided for.
They knew God’s #truth, and they had perfect #freedom to do God’s will.
