I've never had monetary wealth and
probably never will. I've never been give a position above entry
level in any of my career (job) choices. I've never been promoted
over others more deserving nor reached the level of others just
because I am Caucasian. But I am allowed what is termed 'white
privilege'. You see, being Caucasian I get to enjoy the benefit of
the doubt. The powers that be will attempt to talk to me rather than
assume because of my 'race' I must be guilty of something and do not
deserve to be treated with respect. 'White privilege' has very
little to do with wealth or position and everything to do with how
whites are treated with much more respect than other 'races'. We are
all humans and deserve the same level of respect when approached by
one another. We are all individuals and deserve the same level of
respect for who we are rather than what we look like physically. We
are all members of the same race, the human race.
