It's funny that your comment will stand as the last word and mine will get deleted. Who says white privilege doesn't exist. Come to TV and see it for yourself.

No one in the states has been a "slave" in America. Being black is not an excuse for failure. It's not a reason for failure. It is more like an accusation against others for their failure. I do not care if someone says they have friends that are black or that they had neighbors or coworkers that were black. Coming from a multi-ethnicity family, I don't make excuses for my failures and do not sympathize with anyone else in my family for their failures. A failure is something temporary whereas a loser is one that refuses to pick themselves back up when they have a momentary failure. History is full of those that failed and later became successful. Slavery is NOT an excuse for today's people.
"White privilege?" How does the Villages prove "white privilege?" There are a lot of folks in the Villages that are on a very limited and fixed income. Being "white" is not being "privileged." Making excuses for someone's failure to pick themselves up and better themselves does not help them. Throwing money at the situation does not solve the problem. One does not expect an opportunity to drop in their lap. One seeks the opportunity and proves they deserve or qualify for the opportunity.
Being "white" is not a privilege, it's a fact of genetics/DNA. Driving is a "privilege." To say that being "white" is special is being RACIST. Someone saying they lived near, with or as a black is presuming black is on a lower level than white and therefore is another indication of racism.
