White Privilege

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.
