"I've never heard a white man talk about impostor syndrome. I haven't met one."

2. I love Michelle, but yeah... NO. I suffer from that almost every day.

I come form a working class family... first with a college degree. I'm in engneering, a fairly well-paid career. MANY of my colleagues come from a much more privileged background... military officers (my Dad was enlisted), from families of enegineers, country-club generational money kind of stuff. Even after decades, I STILL feel out of place at times... like I'm the kitchen urchin who snuck into the castle's great hall. I CONSTANTLY have to battle the idea that somehow I'm a fake, and they'll realize it any moment, and BACK TO THE SKULLERY for me.

I suspect Michele Obama was running in circles where the white men she met all came from privilege.
