I see that hard work is mistaken for white privileged

When the banker slaps me on the back and tells me about the monthly white privilege financing special

I see people getting up and going to work and not causing trouble for other people. Does that count?

When I review contractor applications and there are check boxes near the top of the forms for minority owned, native american owned, and female owned.

I threw some male privilege in there as well just to round it out.

I got pulled over today. I complied with the officers requests, we had a good laugh about the upcoming sheriff primary, I told him to stay safe out there and we parted ways.


I didn’t get shot once.

I stay at home everyday, I'm mailed a check every week for doing nothing, thats how white privileged I am

Also when I hit the grocery store, I just pull out my ID that says I am white, then the food is free for me

I see privilege when...well, I guess it’s better in rhyme


A poor downtrodden mother,
Who’s life is oh so weary,
She needs just a few comforts,
To save her from all that’s dreary,

Is it too much to ask,
For just a few teeny favors?
Only some things to help her,
Recover from all her labors?

I mean, when she vacations,
To Washington D.C.,
A few small things that she deserves,
For her recovery,

‘Cause y’all, life is so stressful,
When taxpayers foot the bill,
And blogging’s just so draining,
Sometimes a girl just needs some chill,

Just someone to come walk her dog,
And do her laundry too,
While she posts on Facebook from the spa,
It’s the least that y’all can do,

And gosh, it’s far too much to ask,
That she care for her litter,
With all their made up illnesses,
She’ll need some babysitters,

And then some maids to clean her house,
And really clean it DEEP,
Because after she hits the gym,
She’ll need some beauty sleep,

And while you’re at it, it’s too hard,
To cook with all this stress,
She’ll need some food delivery,
And make sure it’s the best.

Then check her car and change her oil,
On the detailing, don’t skimp,
While she sips rose tea at the pool,
And dines on boiled shrimp,

You know she just deserves all this,
These comforts of her station,
But being pampered‘s stressful y’all!


She’ll need a long vacation.

When I say hi to a cop and don't get shot.
When I walk into a restaurant and am seated immediately and thanked for not being black.
When I wear a hat backwards and still get called sir instead of boy.
When I go to the movies and stay silent.

Whites have their own tanning bed salons. Not sure blacks are allowed.
