I'm really ill and weary of this "white privilege" crap. I started with nothing. What little I have I busted my ass to get. No friggin' handouts were there for me.
My granddad was robbed of everything he and Grandma owned. No one trusted banks during the depression. He had to start from scratch with no one to issue him an EBT card or a free phone.
My dad went from handling dogsled teams to being a senior vice president for Boeing.
I coasted on my dad's success until I moved out on my own. I did a lot of things - things that mostly failed. I got knocked on my ass many times but I got back up and dusted myself off and went back at it. Coming toward the end of my days I don't have much, but what I have I earned on my own. I've never taken charity, no handouts, no EBT, no phones.
I had it easier than my dad, who had it easier than his dad - but we all earned our own keep.
I can't help but utter a cynical chuckle when I contemplate...who is going to feed these delicate snowflakes when we're too old to work?
