Hey guess what....I started at a disadvantage too. My dad left my mom when I was 3. My sister was just 1. My moms is an RN and busted her ASS to raise us. She never got a ***DIME*** from social services.

Our family is Irish -- take a look at how the Irish were treated during the 1800 and 1900s.
yeah, back when being irish was considered a bad thing. guess what tho, being black is still looked down upon [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

white privilege blinds most of you guys, it's sad really. i'm half white, but i'm not stuck on this "Oh, well so what if they had a rough spot in history" you don't understand, they still get shit on to this day.

this country has deep rooted institutional racism, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. you usually won't see things unless you know what you're looking for. I used to be blind myself, i had numerous debates when i was younger with black friends about their views on white privilege, and how i thought it was bs. eventually i had an epiphany.
