Privilege
Summary
Privilege
Privilege
I am white
I am a woman
In a country that is supposed to be for equality
I am given privilege
I am given advantage
why,
when others fight
When others struggle on the same premises as I do
When we think of equality,
We think of fairness
We believe in justice
Then why,
is skin color such a big deal
Why do we as a people ignore the advantages we are given,
and the advantages taken away from others
We are in desperate need for a change
But how when our society is so blinded?
Because in the end everyone is equal
Even if not understood by all
Everyone deserves a chance
Empathy is key,
so keep an open mind
for this is the first step
to understanding
the inequality that exists in this country
