George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.
As a 22-year old white man, it is my duty, as well as the humans who I share the same skin color with, that we build and create a society that black parents no longer have to talk to their sons and daughters about surviving in a world, and the “greatest” country, with racism.
Just saw a girl on tik tok say that she’s a “foster girlfriend” because she dates men until they find their forever homes and I’ve been dying laughing for the last half hour because I’ve never felt so called out in my life
