When my attorney and I went out to lunch to talk about details of my divorce, the waitress handed me the bill, like I was the man with the money.

I wonder if Japanese people experience Yellow Privilege in Japan? Do Hutus experience Hutu Privilege in Burundi? Is there white privilege for Irish living in Liverpool?

People don't cross the street when I'm walking down the street like they are afraid I might rob them, nor do they watch me until I'm out of sight. Girls don't "get on their cell phone" when I walk by them at bus stops downtown. Store security doesn't follow me around.

Do Orientals experience white privilege? Do black guys get nervous when black guys come walking down the street dressed like Easy-E or Snoop Dogg? Do YOU dress like a gangbanger?

Do people cross the street when they see some Almighty Gaylords coming down the sidewalk in Chicago?

It just is what it is. I don't feel guilty for it. But I'm also not going to deny it either. And I'll be honest, I've worked the "good ol' boy" system for an opportunity or two.

It is what it is. lol
