Privileged or blessed
Maybe the word that we should be using is blessed.
Blessed that we have a loving home. Blessed that we have food in our bellies.
As whites, we are privileged. We have not even once had to be in fear of jogging down a road. Never once been in fear of going into a Starbucks and sitting.
We have never once been judged strictly by how much melanin is in our DNA.
All I am asking is to show grace. Don’t assume. Never assume.
