I am white and I will not apologize for that. I am sick and tired of this term being used for an excuse for everything and anything. This is what the Left is trying to do...divide us by race, class, religion, etc and they are succeeding because people are sheep and aren't thinking for themselves.
Was it white privilege when my parents worked two and sometimes three jobs just to put food on the table as to not go on government assistance with four kids?
Was it white privilege when I had to take the same standardized test as everybody else to enlist and become a loadmaster?
Was it white privilege when I had to take a job milking cows in the morning and evening and working at a lighting store while going to college so I could pay for it and some months not knowing if I could make rent or buy groceries? Or when I was told at the financial aid office that if I was a minority with the same credentials I could have gone to college for free?
Was it white privilege when I deployed outside the wire on convoys in combat environments? No they didn't care about my race only if I could do my job.
I could continue with many more but I will stop there.

Are you afraid of history? Teaching people white people they enslaved black and other people hurts your feelings!

MSgt Michael Bischoff - NOPE it does not hurt my feelings that is history and we should teach it...BUT don't use white privilege every time something happens. I certainly was not privileged and neither was my father, grandfather, great grandfather and so on. No one in my family ever owned another human being...I have researched my family history.

The world is not white - nor is it predominately white. But go ahead progressives - beat that drum!
