There has been a lot of talk about “white privilege” in the media lately. At first, being white, I was insulted. I felt that some jealous people wanted to dismiss my success as being due to having an unfair advantage. I was insulted because I worked hard, paid my dues and took advantage of opportunities. I did everything right, and then someone thinks it all means nothing just because I am white. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that I did have some privilege, but it wasn’t because I am white, or because my parents were affluent. It was because my parents loved me, disciplined me, and didn’t spoil me. This love taught me to work hard, do things right and be fair. I then realized that being “white” had nothing to do with my success, while my loving parents were actually the real reason. Everyone I know that has had good parents, are also successful too, and it had nothing to do with their ethnicity. The fact is, having good parents is all the “privilege” you need to be successful, and those talking about “white” privilege are just bigots.

It is the evoluntionists that promote the idea of races and then use this made up nonsense to artificially divide people. As a Christian I know that all men and women are related through Noah as well as Adam and therefore the notion of race is absurd. Yet look at Darwin’s “Origin of Species” and discover its true title. These people profess tolerance yet constantly make up artificial; excuses to divide us. I am a college grad and a vet yet I have to work two full time jobs to take care of my family. Where is my “white privilege”? My African American neighbors and Hispanic neighbors also work hard. we have much more in common than we don’t. We share the same work ethic, the same desire for safe neighborhoods, the same sense of community during a snow storm. Only when the left points out that we are supposed to be against each other is there a divide.

I agree completely! Please see “Is there such a thing as race” entry in this blog. You may have to scroll back a few pages to get there. Thanks for your comment!
