You know, there are poor white people too. I didn't get to experience this 'white privilege' everyone is talking about and I'm not even sure what that is. I grew up in a modest income family and worked all my life, raised a daughter and put myself through school. My husband did the same. We both worked very hard for decades to be able to enjoy our retirement. Someone asked how would you feel if you lived in Wildwood and there were nice homes next to you in The Villages? I would think to myself, like I did back when I was young, "I want that....I will work for it and some day I will have it." I don't have a racist bone in my body and I'm sick of people accusing me of being racist just because I'm white. It's also time blacks stopped being victims and take control of their lives and their neighborhoods, as they have the same opportunities everyone else has. All it takes is work and ambition. If this country is so racist, why did we have a black President for 8 years????? Why are some of our most popular celebrities and sports figures black??? I just don't get it....
