I’m a heterosexual white Christian male. Every day, this notion that I’m more privileged than everyone else, and that I have to “level the playing field” in the name of “equality” is shoved down my throat. Helping and caring about people shouldn’t even involve race. It should involve who the person is and what their struggles are, and in 2014, any struggle that a person is going through is either not about race or illegal under United States law.
It’s time to quit acting like we’re all divided and that we’re all just a cluster of different races pitted against each other, and to start treating ourselves as one people.
