You want to know how privileged I am being white?  The summer before I went off to college I worked a full time job in a tax assessor's office.  Then at night I cleaned offices and on the weekends I worked for a maid service.   I could hardly stay awake for the full time job and I was exhausted by the time I got to college where I still had to work a part time job.  No free money or scholarships just hard work.  I'm sure we all have a white privilege story. Out of high school my husband joined the military for 2 years to get his college paid.  It also helped us buy our first home.  If I'm not incorrect anyone can join the military and get these same benefits. We have never been unemployed, on food stamps, had rent subsidies or had any help from the government.  I was a stay at home mom to raise my 5 kids.  No day care, nanny,etc.  We penny pinched and did without and lived within our means. Fortunately Georgia helped pay the kids college through their Hope Scholarship which was based on GPA.  Anyone no matter what color their skin had the same opportunity to receive this help.  My kids worked hard and earned degrees and are self sufficient with good jobs...raising their kids without help from the government. We are America where anyone can be anything they want to be and they can do anything they want to do.  That is white privilege.  But it is also black privilege and Asian privilege.  Anyone can work hard...not just whites.  These people have American privilege and they don't even appreciate it.
