But you do.

I’ll ponder what you’ve said. With an open mind I assure you. Condescension is REAL. only you don’t know it. You’re probably white. One is never too old to reassess! However, I stand firm on my views about white privilege.

I come from a very hierarchical society. When old orders crumbled, rich people could cross ‘caste’ and creed and color barriers. I was born the privileged one so I understand it completely. To be an underprivileged person here in usa? Not nice. America cannot transcend color. Yet. Nor religion. And your Crapitalist patriarchy takes all. What I find unbearable is the hypocrisy of American claims to equality.
