[QUOTE="1Kona_Venom, post: 16531639, member: 101429"] At work last week me and a fellow co-worker, (black guy), proposed to me that "I have white privilege" He used being pulled over for traffic violations and having to go to appear in court and looking around to see the ratio of blacks to whites waiting to be seen by the judge. Says more blacks than whites by a long shot. I roll my eyes, maybe he is right, maybe wrong, but it's Georgia so...... He asks me how many times have I been pulled over? I say several, but I get warnings and have not been to court since 1997 for a traffic ticket. He blames being white is the reason. No, it's probably because I am overall a good driver, but more importantly, I have had either a [b]Active Army[/b] or [b]Retired Army [/b]plate on all my cars for the last 25 years. And I would attribute [b]MY[/b] [b]Service [/b]to the nation for my breaks with law enforcement. (California, 98 in a 75 with my Terminator) Hispanic guy within ear shot says, "Ya, he's right. I don't have issues either with my Retired Military plates. Always been warnings and please slow down." I didn't have socio-economic privilege growing up either. The world is so skewwwed today.
