Didn't you know? All white people are wealthy and come from priviledged backgrounds. They don't have to work for things in life, everything is handed to them, and life is a piece of cake for them. Gosh, I thought EVERYONE knew that!

uh, I didn't. My father spent my entire childhood laid off, laid off, and yet again laid off. He did however manage to make 9 children he could not afford and expected his sister and his brother to pay for our upbringing.
When they fell through, as a teenager, 13, I babysat and my mother stole my money I earned claiming I owed it to her. My grandmother brought groceries in , and periodically brought us big pots of cooked spaghetti and chicken for dinner. I continue to grateful to her for her love and attention.
I was forced to move out of my parents house and not contact them for a very long time cause all they wanted me for was to take the few bucks I got cleaning houses, babysitting and working on the college campus to pay my way through college. I got NO financial aid because they wanted my parents financial information and since I left and didn't want to contact them, I was on my own.
Working two jobs carrying 12 units a semester, I worked my way through community college, and the 4 year university. They did nothing to help me. The state did nothing to help me. I had to earn everything myself.
