Trump Says Civil Rights Led to White People Being 'Very Badly Treated'

[-misanthroptimist]

12. What a crock of shit

I was a boy during the Civil Rights Era. I lived my adult life with the results.

And I am the poster boy for White Privilege -not the kind Pres. Baby-Man has. No, I represent the White Privilege that the vast majority of us run into on a day-to-day basis. I got jobs that I was in no way qualified for. In one instance, I later learned that I got that job over a PoC who was fully qualified. In fact, if I posted my background and formal education (or lack thereof) and then my CV...well, you wouldn't believe me without documentation. And I wouldn't blame you in the least.

Did I get these jobs solely because I was white? No. But I guarantee that if I was black, brown, yellow, or red I wouldn't have gotten a single one of those jobs, and probably none of the promotions.

White people routinely are better treated than PoC in this country -and always have been. Most of us don't even notice...until we are treated equally. Then we squeal like pigs.

Blow it out your ass, Your Travesty.
