White privilege -- if you are white are you aware it exists? If you are not white are you aware it exits?

Are you aware of the reality which has been labeled 'white privilege'?

(it takes 2 seconds to find out what 'white privilege' is (google is our friend) ---- it takes a lot longer to accept it exists --- whether an indiviual accepts it or not does not change the fact it DOES exist).

Is this something else white people are supposed to feel guilty about? The list gets longer and longer.

I grew up poor and white, in trailer parks off and on, and have been frequently called poor white trash, and clawed my way out of it. If I can do it, anyone can, white or otherwise.

WTF? Pardon me, but are we supposed to be apologizing for having been born white now? *Rolling eyes.*

Since I'm white, I'm obviously too good to respond to this.  SMH.
