Wrong, Dahleen Glanton. Your entitlement is the problem.
I'm NOT uncomfortable with the term 'privileged' because it represents our 'racial reputation' - an EARNED reputation for being honest, hard working, and decent. Our cultural legacy is democracy and the willingness to right wrongs like slavery.
On a more personal level, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night - and you're of 'any' race - would you rather the breakdown happen in a 'white' neighborhood or 'black neighborhood'. Answer truthfully and you'll understand one of our advantages... 'Racial Reputation' - - period. What's your choice Dahleen Glanton? Which neighborhood?
Oh, and it's an 'advantage' that disappears the second a white person acts like a two bit criminal...
I started out my white privilege as the son of a cattleman in the second poorest county in my state. My day started out two hours before the school bus arrived at 7:30am, milked two cows, fed hogs and dogs, then rode the bus for an hour. When I got home, I did the same chores minus the milking, and sometimes got in a half hour of fishing in the pond before dark.
In the summer we mowed, raked, and baled hay, small bales then stacked them. When I was 13, I stacked bales, about 1000 a day, we put up 30,000 a year, in my spare time, we had about 25 quarter horses, about 15 had foals every years, so since I wasn’t very heavy, I broke them starting when I was 11 or so. On the rainy days, we fixed fence, usually in knee deep, standing water (water gaps that washed out).
Then I played various sports in my spare hours, earned a scholarship to play baseball, which lasted a year and a half when a bad arm ended that. I got a job and paid my own tuition, rent, and living expenses, finished college, had a degree and $1500 in student loans. I went into the world during the Carter years, that was special. I found a niche due to a knack for sales (for commission which means no production equals no pay) worked into various management roles, did well enough to own a Corvette at 30 (one of my dreams) had kids and a wife and bills, spent some time driving a Comp Eliminator car on weekends after putting in 70 hours a week, hunted in BC, Alaska, and Africa (more dreams I never thought would happen). I’m 60 still working, have no pension, no health insurance, what I have I worked my ass off for. I’ve really been privileged. I worked more hours before I was 13 years old than this idiot liberal has in her life!
