White People Problems

The conversation we had about white privilege today really got me thinking about how selfish we as White Americans are. Most of us don't even understand what hardship is and how hard life could be, so we have to MAKE UP problems. For example, "MY PHONE ISN'T SENDING THIS MESSAGE, WORST DAY EVERRRRR" Oh really? Someone a few thousand miles away hasn't had clean water in 10 years...but I totally understand your struggles. How about you give that portable communication device a second huh? IT'S GOING TO SPACE AND BACK YOU IDIOTS! Most of America is so wrapped up in themselves and their own glamorized version of what our world is, we don't even consider other's lives, and what problems really are. All of these ammenities we take for granted daily have turned us into a pathetic, whiney, impatient and self-absorbed nation. If we took a tenth of the energy we waste on ourselves to help others we could make a huge difference...but Jersey Shore is about to come on, so maybe some other time. Samuel Roux Post #1
