I'm not discounting the unbelievably shitty treatment people of color have been subjected to by white devils who look like me.
I do know now that I've gotten something of a pass that has obscured my understanding - the understanding that this is a fight between classes - about account balances and investment portfolios - and not about some arbitrary crap like "race", which was invented by white people as part of a divide-n-conquer strategy 300 years ago.
The point is that elites don't like me either. They let me pretend that I was playing in their sandbox for a dozen years or so, but that was it. I was "limited" so I was out.
I've finally realized that I stand with all my brothers and sisters and distant cousins no matter if they look like me or not.
And I'm too old to worry about meaningless differences like the color of somebody's skin, or the way they pray, or who they love, or whatever.
So I say this loud and proud to the "elites":
Here I am, assholes - come and get me.
