My Secratary is on Vacation. Who want to come make my coffee? (A thread about race and masagany)
So as a 25 year old white straight christian male, and brace your self for this, sometime I feel marganalized. Don't get me wrong, I know I was lucky to grow up middle class in sub-urban America. I lived in an affluent neighborhood, and yes I was born white and male. What get's me though is that someone how like 40% of the country thinks anything I do is not because of me but because of my identity they want to assign to me. I have the same issue with affermative action in many respects. I don't like telling a race "you need bonus points because they aren't as good as the whites but we still love you heres a job we say you dont really deserve please vote for us". Similarly, to say being a white male makes me privilleged tells everyone else born not a white male that they are disprivilleged. So here it is. I'm white and male and I'm proud. Not of those labels or the named identities, but of my self. I've worked hard and deserve everything I've got. And I'm also here to say that you can to if you actually do it. I'm happy to run alongside you, just don't ask me to slow down.
(Full of type-o's will fix later)
