A former classmate hit me up and wanted to let me know that white privilege didnt exist
She had to eat ramen noodles as a kid
Sje didnt get name brand sneakers
She currently works hard everyday.
Where is the privilege in that?
Sigh
"Didn't your uncle who got a job at the bank help your daddy get a loan to buy a dump truck ?:
Her: yes but-
Me: Didn't that dump truck become a hauling business?
Her : well yeah but-
Me: didn't your daddy lose that business because he became a drug addict ?
Her: silence
Me: didn't he default on that loan and get ANOTHER loan 3 years later after finding Jesus?
Me: remember when you told that story about driving off the road drunk and the deputy called your mama to come get you and you didn't get a ticket ?
Me: let me ask you this
Why do you think your daddy got two chances to start a business when my daddy couldn't get one ?
And it wasn't about credit ratings.
See wp doesn't mean your life is perfect because of it. But it does mean it's rarely hard because of it
Her: I never looked at like that ..
Me: that's a privilege too
