Did you know being white is a privilege? I’m sure my black and brown friends do. Leave it to Walmart to disturb me to such a degree I can no longer remain silent.

Why is it when I am exiting the store I get a free pass and am waved right through? Might it have something to do with my blonde hair and light green eyes?
