My Corner of the World

I was born white or caucasian or non-hispanic white...  and, I don't really give a shit what you call me because I am what I am...  just like you are who you are.

• If you are black, that is NOT MY FAULT
• If you are a descendant of slavery, that is NOT MY FAULT
• If you are undeducated, THAT IS NOT MY FAULT
• IF you are addicted to drugs, THAT IS NOT MY FAULT

I had no influence over your parents

I had no influence over slave owners

I had no influence over your desire to be ignorant

I had no influence over your mental weaknesses

NOBODY GAVE ME ANYTHING after graduating from high school with a "C-" average...

I paid for my college education by working full time and I also paid for my education by enlisting in the military during the VIETNAM WAR...

No one pulled strings to get me my first job after college because I was already working at the company while attending college.

I have no athletic skills

I have no musical skills

I have no artistic skills

I have no acting skills

I have no mechanical skills

I have no handyman skills

And yet, I managed to earn both an undergraduate and graduate degree and work in middle to upper management jobs (Down South in Low Wage Jurisdictions) for 45 years...

And during those 45 years, my refusal to KISS ASS and follow the rules, got me FIRED 10 TIMES during my career...

I am probably one of the few people with a masters degree working for $10/hour answering phone calls taking orders for TALBOTS.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE I AM A BENEFICIARY OF WHITE PRIVILEGE???

It just burns me up when I hear all about this white privilege shit and if you are white then you are automatically a recipient of the privilege.  Most of these intellectual black don't know what they are talking about...  and, instead of making me sympathetic to your cause, it has made me angry and resentful that you have the "balls" to make those claims towards white people in general.

I have earned my corner of the world and I am not giving it up for NOBODY...
