I wish my high school experience was as benign as that.
See, I've never run across much of that "white privilege" that supposedly is just lying around to be picked up like Mario coins by white folks only.
I grew up poor in a small town in NJ, in a winterized 900 square foot summer cottage, so I didn't get a private school choice.
The town sent it's HS students to two schools that they had "sharing" agreements with for funding, the one to the south was an OK, mostly white suburban school. The one to the north was a failed ghetto school, almost universally black, and by the late 70s when I was shipped there as part of racially motivated "blending scheme" dictated by government, it had devolved into another "Eastside High".
Until I could, basically, "run away" at 16 during the summer after finishing my sophomore year, I had to endure racism heaped on me that makes drawing unsettling pictures a welcome respite.
I was beaten, punched, mugged, had knives and guns drawn on me, multiple times, simply for being the "white boy".
I still recall to this day, approaching a dude who was a Nation of Islam follower and great espounder of the edicts of Malcolm X.
While this dude, I can't recall his name, he had taken a Muslim name of some sort, but had started in the system at the same time as me with a "given" name of James Wright, was certainly not "friendly" toward me, he had not taken part in the general badgering of the handful of whiteys and gave off the air of an "intellectual", so I figured if anybody might give an honest answer to my question, it would be him.
What was my question? Simple: why do you hate me so much?
Well, I got the answer you might expect, a half hour harangue on the evils of the white race, and a prognostication that ultimately people like him will be in power, and when they are, they will use that power to exterminate me once and for all.
His words: "exterminate once and for all".
Not much to say past that point and I haven't told anybody the details of that encounter in over thirty years now....
I became the "Boy Named Sue" after that.
I grew up fast and I grew up mean and got the $#@! out of there as soon as I could.
Well, good, and I'm not even a huge fan, Giesel was an unabashed lefty, no doubt, so I don't have a dog in the hunt.
Life is full of slights and "disrespects"...too much power given to those minor affronts leads to hatreds much worse.
