Everything is easier when there is money and people behind you. Now Fortgang , tell me again about your privilege, its who you know and who you are is how one gets ahead in the US. While less fortunate also get ahead, it takes much more hard work and dedication.
Nowhere does this tradition run deeper than at the Princeton Tory, the home of Fortgang's white-privilege piece. Its co-founding editors, two hardcore pro-Israel neocons, went on to create the Shalem Center, a Jerusalem-based right-wing think tank to bring "the writings of Smith, Burke, or Hayek" to Hebrew-speaking Israeli students. (Shalem was financed in part with millions from Sheldon Adelson, the casino billionaire who poured hundreds of millions into Republican campaigns in 2012 alone.) For a time, their staff at the Tory included Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp.
