I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person

[98valk]

 I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person,
 but I was born white into a two parent household which now labels me as "Privileged", racist and responsible for slavery.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan & budget. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged”.

I am heterosexual, which according to some folks, now makes me a homophobe. I believe the Lord did not give me a heart to judge others.

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a threat to the liberals and I get labeled as being part of a militia.

I am older than 40, making me a useless person with outdated ideas and values.

I think and I reason, and I doubt much of what the "main stream" media tells me, which makes me a "Right-wing conspiracy nut”.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me a target of socialists and Antifa.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.

I believe in a strong defense and protection of America for and by all citizens, now making me a militant.

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand and salute during our National Anthem - so I must be a racist. I kneel only for The Cross, which makes me racist.

I think the Confederate monuments around our country symbolize history, so I'm labeled as having hate in my heart when some suddenly are offended by their presence.

I'm labeled racist when thinking the erasing of history will potentially cause us to repeat the problems.

I think that all lives matter, which labels me as a racist.

I support the President, which labels me as a racist and according to Senator Mazie Hirona, also a white supremacist.

I think the riots and destruction of property around our country is wrong and is just an excuse to push a political agenda, so I'm labeled a racist.

I support our cops, which labels me as a racist.

Though I know it's real, I question whether fear is being used to control us during the COVID-19 pandemic and have wondered if the crisis is being used for political reasons, so I'm labeled careless and non-sympathetic.

Liberals have tried to make me feel bad about who I am! Based on everything above, some want me to believe I am a bad person; I'm not, I'm a good person who loves my God, my family and my country.

You’re not alone in that club!
I know I’m a pretty good person & don’t give a flying F what the crackpots think of me.

I know I'm a no good no account.
I know I'm a racist.

I've been told it enough times. If something is repeated enough then we all know it becomes true.

      Why I iz so danged privileged I was able to purchase 2 houses on time payments but only paid fer one at a time. Bought cars trucks and motorcycles on time payments and was able to hang on to rhem long as i made the payments on time. I live on a street with a retired school teacher/minister a former deck hand on a Mississippi river tug boat/Nam Vet a young man who works Very hard at a local pallet /hard wood mill a single young lady with a young son and a younger daughter a former over the road driver/former Navy Seal. I've met and moved Rich folks and a few that were legends in their own minds. I fire up the grill around here or others do and we all ask the same basic question-whatcha cookin on the grill tonight?  I've broken bread with most of my neighbors at one time or another. Been inside their houses at one time or another-Before this chinee kung fumanchu kaka=and they've been in mine. What we all have in common sides friendships is the Very FACT we all worked hard in our professions to git what litte we got and personally i could NOT ask for much more. ANYONE can be this "privileged" if they work hard nuff and set realistic goals. BUT most here already KNOW That!  RIDE SAFE.
