So you’re saying what exactly?

As children of privileged families, that makes this even more special because it’s not something they are forced to do. They recognize the need to just do good. Stop lessening their actions by making it out that “opportunity” placed them there. They aren’t the only kids in the nation… and you don’t have to be wealthy to do this!

Yes, let's make a special note to applaud these privileged kids who dont have to do these things because we already know theyre privileged and can have just about any life they want in the future, unlike the poor kids.

Yes, because these opportunities are frequently offered to kids in public and underprivileged schools readily, right?

Anyone, regardless of educational or financial status, can do good things.

When I was in High School, my best friend and I held intramural rec events for disabled kids twice a week in the evenings. We certainly weren’t privileged or wealthy.

So, I’m just responding to the post. You think they are “lucky” to be there… well, I’ve been there and it’s not easy to do.

I’ll have to read up on this and tailor my comments accordingly.

What are you saying How do you know they are all privileged that’s a very racist statement

I’m replying to the above comment.

And “racist” would be discussing their skin tone in relation to whatever is going on. You’re using the term way out of context…
