Every day people on social media are trying to perpetuate the myth that successful people achieved their success by cheating, stealing, and “privilege.” They pay zero attention to hard work and talent (because these are not qualities they possess). I don’t believe that Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or Oprah Winfrey or Fred Smith or Robert and Sheila Johnson were rapacious or cruel in their chosen fields and accomplishments. These people should be avatars, not enemies.
But then again, we just celebrated Presidents Day while taking Lincoln’s and Washington’s and Jefferson’s name off school buildings.
