of Man and Myth

I’m an old, white guy. If I didn’t live in poverty or had any real social power, I might be dangerous. I still have the ‘privilege’ of being white, male and old, none of which did I have to work for.

There is a meme (or social construct) that “old white guys” are the cause of most or all of our social ills. I have been handed this bunch of privileges on the proverbial ‘silver platter’. And I am very aware that I have them.
