Comments
This was an easy article to read, I liked the beginning; how the author opened up with the fish comment. I do agree that whites do take privilege for granted, but it is not their faults, it is what they are used to. I'm sure some do recognize it. I think it was sad that a black man in 2003 is still making less than white men were earning in 1967.
