I have been hearing that
people are going around saying that some of us Caucasians should use our “white
privilege” for good things like helping to stop racism or prejudice. What I
want to know is, what exactly IS white privilege AND where do I get some of
that for myself?
If this is some magical,
mystical elitist group to belong to then why the hell am I not a party to this?
If being a Caucasian person, especially with fair features, gets a person life
on easy street then…er..uuuhh…easy street? Isn't that down between skid row & the fifth ring of hell?
People lately seem to be
under this misconception that poverty is prejudice and only attacks “minorities.”
My newsflash would be we are all in the same boat. I am your neighbor, you
stood in front of me at the $.99 store buying produce just like I did, you and
I bumped into each other on the subway.
Hopefully soon enough when
you ride the subway or walk miles home that you will start to look around at
those who pass you by or sit next to you on the bus. They are just as tired,
lonely, hungry, soul searching for happiness…just.like.me.
Today I did wonder if there
was a reason I have ended up traveling down my current path. Maybe I am here so
that others become aware that poverty has no boundaries, that Government will
attack ALL of its citizens and drive them into destitution. My mouth tends to
get extremely political at times and I am surprised to see how many walk around
who know nothing about what is going on in Congress let alone just in our own
state, plus they are not registered.
We cannot make a difference
unless we all stand together on ALL humanitarian issues. We cannot pick and
choose what we think is right or wrong. FREEDOM is right. Freedom to think how
we want, live how we want. We are not meant to be enslaved into nonexistence. If
having White Privilege gets a voice for the people then I guess I can take that
role. First task is to get everyone unregistered as a Republican or Democratic…same
party, same agenda.
