Why do you believe "privilege" is a negative word?

Also, assuming you mean Robin DiAngelo, what of hers have you read? She's pretty clear in both White Fragility and Nice Racism in advocating against "constant, deliberate, self-flaggelation" because they center the person doing it and take energy away from productive action.

Not the person you were replying to, but do you have positive associations with the word "privilege?"

[daxelrod]

My associations are mostly neutral. It can even be positive in certain contexts, like "It was a privilege to meet him".
