There are many details that can be discussed and analyzed with this video, but the fact of the matter stands that some of us were born with more privilege than others and that can have deep impact on our lives. I have a favorite quote that hangs right above my desk; I do not know who to attribute it to so my apologies, but I will leave you with it, "privilege is when you think something is not a problem because it is not a problem to you personally."
