McIntosh and My Privalages

I don't feel privalaged at all. In fact at times I wish that I didn't have the responsibility that comes with my family's high economic status. I am obliged to get a four year degree and lead a life of success. If I were to be born in the ghetto, in a broken home, I wouldn't have such unrealistic expectations. In fact I can imagine the excitement of pushing drugs on a street corner, or a knife fight in the alley way. I imagine it would be a bit a rougher, but I would welcome a good dose of life threatening excitement. But my privalaged ass cannot let down my family, after all I'm quite an investment. I think everyone is just about as privalaged as the next guy, the difference is one guy gets a cruise, and the other has to hitchike. I would personally hitchike.
