I was privileged to work at age 12....everyday during the school year.
I know it was a 'different time,' but from the time I was about 10 years old, I was shoveling snow (talk about white privilege!), mowing lawns, delivering newspapers (40+ papers a day, 7 days a week 365 days a year for 4 years - at 5:30 in the morning). My brother was the same way, and our 2 sisters and we all babysat for neighbors. We did this while being put through Catholic high school on my father's car salesman salary. They went without lots of things on our behalf.
So to those who claim I had white privilege, I have but one thing to say...
My SSN earnings start in 1973. I was 13 years old.
1973 $267 $267
Lol. My husband was privileged to be in the middle of a family of seven. At thirteen he worked three jobs, delivered newspapers in the morning, worked for a florist after school, and washed dishes at a diner from 10pm until done. Also privileged to have had his first bypas surgery at 43, major heart attack at 46, Heart transplant at 64 and he is still working. (He is truly privileged to have survived his heart issues so not complaining)
Screw their white privilege, we’ve been paying our taxes our entire lives to keep lazy a$$es who now call us privileged, to collect their welfare.
Never, never thought I would say this but I hate this country and what it has become.
