White privilege – have you checked it? If not, you might be one of the millions of white Americans who has viciously profiled, targeted and (unwittingly or not) beat down the minority to the point where we can’t take care of ourselves anymore.

Not really, but you get the idea that I’m conveying. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and a slew of other opportunistic, pandering and completely worthless racial doorstops have prevented the “poor little brown man” from advancing in the world ever since the true martyrs of the Civil Rights Movement died out, along with their cause.

While there is no doubt that racial profiling may have been an injustice that perpetuated hatred for certain nationalities and races in the 1800s and well into the 20th century, we are at a point in our awakening as a society where the everyday man has no other option but to set aside his petty grievances and lock arms with his brothers and sisters of all skin colors.

The far left would have you believe that the rich, fat, white politicians have their stubby fingers in the pockets of the “minorities,” but in the end, this concept is simply a red herring for a more serious problem. Our politicians have meticulously set race against race and brother against brother in an attempt to garner support from special interest groups so that they may be elected again to repeat the cycle.

The only problem with their plan is that the racial gap is not the same as it was 80, 50, or even 30 years ago. In a world of mulattos (mixed white-black persons) and a generation of multicultural backgrounds, there are probably few people suffering from “white guilt syndrome” who couldn’t admit to having some form of non-white ancestry in their family.

Just walk across the campus on any given Monday and try to guess races. Cultures are becoming intertwined, and America is truly the essential melting pot (for better or worse) that it claimed to be so long ago. By my own name, one might think I might look completely different just by assumptions about my racial heritage. This is harmless, because anyone who actually takes the time to know me, as well as any of my friends, wouldn’t meet a Mexican, or an African American, or any other race. They would meet Christians, musicians, doctors, writers, mechanics, and philosophers.

I have indeed been insulted for my race, however, and I would be remiss if I were to say that race is no longer a concept in society. I’ve been told to “go back to Mexico” and that my people were the problem in America. I do not find these things upsetting, because these people are not hiring me. I am not dating these people, and these people have no control over my life.

However, if anyone should say that because of my name, my skin color or my ethnic background, that I am being transgressed, I would be more offended that I should be pigeonholed into such a concept as a race and not seen as an individual encompassing several identities than I would be if I were called a “spic” or a “beaner.” As long as people bring up the issue of racial injustice, the actual problem itself will thrive and exist.

If you are someone the political elite considers a “minority,” you have to ask yourself something. Are you a victim that can’t hold your own in a world full of people, many of which have grown up just like you, or are you just you? If you are an individual that can change your own life, then never be a victim. Live and let die, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
