Another unarmed black man murdered by police in Arizona: Cop mistook pill bottle for a gun

11. For me too. Help me cope.

I wrote one that made me feel better for a day this summer.

Here, I never finished it all the way.

If I had white privilege, I would know that it was there
It would be so obvious, I could see it everywhere
I would have never been stopped, while walking up my street
And had my person searched, from my head down to my feet


No one would ever say, you speak well, for your kind
Or told me that my possessions, could not possibly be mine
I would never have been told, to go back to from where I came
And even if it happened, it just wouldn’t feel the same


If I had white privilege I would use it all the time
How could I but help it, the Privilege would be fine
If I shared my privilege with other folks I know
Then I could make easier, the burdens that they tow

One day I'll finish and post it on a white privilege battle thread.
