White can't we all just get along?

I believe that we do have a sort of responsibility to give up these born with privileges that put a sort of barrier between different heritages in our American society. America is suppose to be the melting pot of the world, we are suppose to be the place where no matter what color your skin is or what your culture is you will never be judged or looked down upon. That is very clearly not the case right now and I do believe that because of this a change is needed. We need to become equal as America projects itself to be.

            Being born with these magical rights affects us day to day purely by what race and what living situation we are born into. Intersectional identity affects us because it will affect everything in our lives from the point of birth whether we are born white or black makes all the difference. If we toke away this power and made everything the same it would completely shift the United States in every way, for the best.

10.More chances for jobs and more education opportunities offered.
11.Nicer places and neighborhoods to live in.
12.Never have to worry about kid’s being judged or picked on because of color.
13.I can talk freely and openly about my opinion without upsetting people or surprising them.
14.Based on my looks and my skin color I will never be outright labeled a terrorist.
15.The law is on my side and I never have to worry about being arrested or pulled over and prosecuted based on my skin color.
