So,This Is What Happened Last Night
I had to drive some people to the airport a couple hours away. I know these people well but don't want to say too much. They are all U.S citizens. The one person who should have drove them and wanted to drive them is not a U.S. citizen. But he does have asylum and a green card. The one thing he doesn't have is white skin. Infact he's very dark. He is one of the best, level headed men i know. With reports of ICE around the airport and surrounding areas the people who he should have been with were worried for his safety and pushed hard for him not to take them. Right now as I write this tears are running down my face. I am fucking pissed right now. Anyway, I'm going to let the cat out of the bag. While loading the luggage in the truck I looked at my 15 year old granddaughter and said this is the true definition of white privilege. I said 'I can take you to the airport ', and she finished my thought saying ' but #@&># can't ' we just looked at each other
