Being White Is Hard



     I'm white. I always have been and people always say its so easy. It wasn't and isn't easy for me. My race doesn't have the most pleasant back story. If you have a conscience the white mans history is down right humiliating. We are definitely right up there in the scheme of a-hole races. If the white race was a team you wouldn't wear the jersey in public is what I'm saying. I am not all that proud of my race.
     It was also hard growing up white. I was bussed to a inner city school and it was hell. I had one math teacher and every year he showed the movie "Roots".
All 12 parts of it and being the only white kid in the room I gotta tell you that was awkward. Not to mention unnecessary he was a damn math teacher and as important as that film is I don't remember Kunta ever cracking open an algebra book. Then again it was an inner city school so we hardly ever cracked one open either...
