    I just can’t let Mari’s comment pass about there being ‘no such thing as white privilege anymore’. It sounds like you are the one who needs to make some black friends! If you do, you will notice that your white skin affords you all kinds of privileges you never even noticed. Like welcoming smiles in all sorts of white dominated establishments. Like easier access to jobs. Like quicker service in a restaurant.There are so many ways being white makes things easier in this white-dominated culture. Most of the time it’s subtle, but sometimes it’s not. Remaining ignorant as to how the skin that covers you effects your life is another luxury black people don’t have. This reminds me of how people only notice other peoples accents, thinking that somehow they are the only ones with ‘no accent’.
