Somebody finally pushed my buttons!
I'm white, but grew up in a black neighborhood. That was because I was just like them. I lived in abject poverty and was raised by a grandmother on welfare. I started working when I was 10 years old, to eat! There was NOTHING available to me that was not available to all my black friends and neighbors. I was drafted into the Army, went to OCS, earned a bachelors and two masters degrees, etc. I've had a good life. But, it was a result of more work than I ever thought possible. in my moccasins white privilege only meant working harder than the black AND white man next to me!
