Quote"..................You have never had to leave your house to go to school or work, and worry that the police car driving up the road is going to stop and officers come out with their hands on the handles of their guns, questioning why you're walking on the sidewalk in your neighborhood.
You have never had to be followed by a store clerk who is worried that you're going to steal something.
You've never been in an elevator and when it opened on another floor, the young family about to get in, chose to wait for another elevator instead.
That is privilege. You enjoy things that black people don't get to enjoy, simply by virtue of your skin color........end quote
EXACTLY.....people not realizing this is why we are having problems. Having the misguided belief that we all start out our life in the same place. With the same advantages/disadvantages.
