Good read-----What "white privilege" means in small-town West Virginia

What "white privilege" means in small-town West Virginia
"Two years ago, my wife Mary and I relocated from Florida to West Virginia to be closer to our elderly parents.
We have witnessed traditional American values displayed in our tiny town of 500 which I've affectionately nicknamed Trump Country USA.
Our two shopping options are the country store/gas station or the Dollar General.
Lloyd MarcusI am one of probably ten blacks in town.
On a trip to the Dollar General, I saw an elderly white gentleman in the parking lot slowly returning his shopping cart to the store. 
"I can take that for you sir." I said. "Thank you young man." he replied. Then he asked, "Do I know you? You look like someone I know." 
I replied, "No sir. We moved here 2 years ago."
With a great warm smile, he said, "My name is Pop Kern. I'm 89 years old. I've lived here all my life." As we chatted, Pop Kern said, "At 9 years old, I milked 9 cows every morning before school and 9 cows after school. My pay was $5 a week."
I thought, I guess Pop Kern did not get the memo about what Democrats call his racist and unfair "white privilege." 
He just got up every morning and did what he had to do to earn a living. 
He lives in the home he grew up in which he owns and has acquired a second house. 
I could tell he is a kind man who worked hard his entire life.
I've seen Pop Kern around town, walking in baby steps to pick up his mail at the post office. 
He is always pleasant, giving me a wave, a smile or a have a good day.
It turns my stomach the way despicable evil Democrat presidential candidates say white men like Pop Kern are responsible for everything wrong in the world. 
Democrats boldly proclaim that if elected president, they will punish Pop Kern; tax the heck out of him and force him to pay reparations to minorities and even illegal aliens..."
