So this is what privilege feels like?

In this, my maiden blog, I'd like to thank the Lord for my good fortune of having been born a Black man in these here United States of America. The opportunities for the majority of young Black men 2 generations after the height of the Civil Rights era are bountiful. Thank you, Geraldine Ferraro for pointing this out. And all those pesky numbers concerning dropout rates, single parent households, innercity school performance and a myriad of other sobering statistics, we can just ignore because it's definitely easier for a man of color to ascend to the presidency than a white man. So this is what privilege feels like, huh?
