I don't understand the caption. I am an old white conservative. I have seen many, many similar examples of "people of color" going to extraordinary measures in order to work. In my case, I see them waiting for buses in the middle of the night, coming home from jobs in a local mall (or fast food outlets), knowing that they will need to take a minimum of two buses to get home.
Bully for them. I wish them all the best.
But it is no more virtuous than things I did when I was young to get and keep jobs - some of them shitty jobs that most people would never even consider.
that's life. A white kid in a single parent household is almost four times more likely to be living in poverty than a black kid in a 2-parent family. White privilege is bullshit. Choices and behavior matter much more than the color of one's skin.
You go tell the white person that created the term white privilege how it's bullshit.
Last, its easy for an old white man to make the claims above you've never faced white racism. I am black and I will say color maters right now. So when you turn black and live let me know what color does.
