I’m Hispanic and this guy is embarrassing my people.
I love how the conservative latino comes up and calls white people his Caucasian brothers and sisters. That is how it should be! Thank you brother!

Right on Charlie!
I’m still trying to figure out what white privilege is and I’m white. Most of the people I know are white and they have no idea what white privilege is. Like the other whites I know, we did NOT grow up in a 1950s TV show “Leave It To Beaver” type of household. We struggled from paycheck to paycheck to keep a roof over our head, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. The toy advertisers on TV were actually kind of cruel because most of the white people I knew while growing up couldn’t afford those cool toys. If we wanted more than what our parents could afford to give, we had to work for it. Paper routes, shoveling snow, mowing lawns, being a farm laborer, buying a cutting torch set and cleaning up junk farm machinery and vehicles then taking it to a scrap yard. Sacking groceries at the local grocery store or washing dishes at a restaurant or flipping hamburgers at a fast food joint or pumping gas when they still had full service gas stations. None of the people I grew up with were on welfare, WE WORKED! I had one friend who came from a family that was well to do, BUT, his dad worked for the county road maintenance during the day, then ran a small excavation company in the evening and weekends, plus ran a 200 acre grain farm. The only time he was able to relax was during the winter, but if we were hit with a snow storm, then he had to work overtime cleaning snow off the roads. One of my friends lived on an acreage (10 acres) and they had a cow for their milk, chickens for their eggs, and raised a few hogs for their meat while his dad worked at a meat packing plant. For most of us, the military provided the first decent paying full time job. Most of us went to some type of trade school for the adult world and some were trained through apprenticeships or on-the-job training. Even though most of us did a little better than our parents but we’re all in the middle to lower middle class. Very few live in one of these suburban upper middle class to rich neighborhoods. So all you idiots that claim to know all about white privilege are stupid and should STFU!
That pretty well sums up the area I grew up in and the neighbors also. I worked my way through college by myself, nothing from family, no govt loans, just started first 2 years in a community junior college which was way less $, then transferred, and had a full time and a part time job at the same time with a minimum full load of lab & field classes. Those classes take more time than most ordinary classes, btw. Sleep? ha, ha, A Life? what’s that? But you can do it for a while to get where you need to be–the only thing was, due to affirmative action admissions, even though I had excellent grades, I could not get into the department I really wanted and had to get in through a side door so to say, which was longer. Later, I had a co-worker sneering about the nice car I had. I did not buy it new and it was not a really fancy kind or make, but it was nice, more by accident of falling into a good deal after we had saved our $ and were watching for something. We saved the $ because we never had, ever, a big screen TV, rarely went out, almost never did fast food but cooked at home, certainly did not go to pro games or concerts, no cable TV, didn’t even have a cell phone at first, then just a bare minimum one for actual needs, not fun & games while she, although she did not have the white privilege I had, had had all of that all along, and assistance to go to schools which she kept starting, then dropping just before you lost the $ you had put up for the semester. I have no idea what arrangements there were for repayment to the program the $ came from. She also had 3 kids by different dads, none of whom married her, and never stayed at a job long. I guess it is pretty rough getting along without white privilege, poor thing.
