There is something to be said about "white privelege". The
simplicity of it is, is that it exists for US. It's just taken for
granted.
As for who and what I am. I know the who, that parts easy. And try
not to reflect on what I am. Because I really do not know the me other
people see.
And LJ I have to relate a story. A black came into our store, jovial
fella, warm, friendly, and down on his luck. His welfare card didn't
work. He left, came back and took the groceries. Again, really no fault
of his own. Oh, I'll get it for that.
He
comes back into the store and takes the bag. We're told to just let it
go and call the police, but Jerry and Gordy had other ideas, and this
guy I guess said a few things. But I think misintrepeted. But then
again, this is how I roll.
Now
this happened months ago and has yet gone to trial. In the early days
of it, Jerry said he'd drag me in. I said, that wouldn't be a good idea
as far as prosecution goes because I would end up being a character
witness for the defense. I liked the guy.
But
this is where it gets to even Jerry, who really doesn't approach this
type of thing very well but understands the principle of money, wealth,
and fairness.
As
it is we were talking about the case and this guy STILL sitting in jail
and how by the time it gets to trial, and it should have been times
over, and prosecuted that he should get out for time served. I mean
really.
Like I said, Jerry doesn't approach this much but even he said he thought about the "if this were anyone else, rich or white".
But is it his fault? The man that stole the gorceries? I still say, NO.
Mull this over, white privelege is a black mans denial.
