35. I didn't care because I was oblivious to my master status as a white man
Edited on Sun Aug-22-04 09:46 PM by jeffrey_X
I was going through the world with blinders on for 29-30 years. I didn't feel the need to get involved with politics because no issues were relevant to me.

I worked at an all white men's private golf club and thought the world was my oyster. Little did I know there was a whole other world happening that I was not aware of.

Again...everything changed after I truly became involved in my wife's life and thought about the realities of raising an african american son or daughter in this world.
