White Race Privilege? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

White Privilege — One Man’s Account — “NOT “privilege” but hard work and using my brains made it all possible”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The only White Privilege I ever had was having the SKILLS to qualify for the job.Almost 13 Years of school didn`t give me any pivilege. Skills either.
 I learned welding by taking private lessons at a shop. Paid for it with an acetylene outfit I didn`t know how to use. But I learned. Then I went to work for the Caterpillar Tractor factory. Became an exellent welder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
