"You have privilege" has been recast as an insult, even though it was always supposed to be a statement of fact.

Maybe we can use that to our advantage; present a way out: Your privilege, dear allies, is fine. Your goal should be, not to express it.

And we – those who experience marginalization – should improve our communication. Use one term to refer to the didactic concept, and another to express our justified anger.

Not because of some moral imperative to do so, just because to help terms like privilege stay effective.

Explanation: This thread basically is a comment on the propensity of less marginalized to make us manage their emotions; emphasizing their emotional reaction, to the adversity we face while at the same time trying to be "one of us". Part of the "in-group". 1/2

Of course, privilege should in any case still be used to fight marginalization. I was simply not referring to those sorts of circumstances. 2/2
