text: White privilege? I suppose I am privileged that my family survived the black death; that some came to Maryland (kicked out of England) for their minority religious beliefs instead of being executed; that some survived a massacre by Indians at Jamestown; that some did not die in the Revolutionary War (I'm on the south side of the border); that some were not killed in Saarland by Napoleon as he marched through their homes and gardens; that some did not die in the American Civil War (all were with the Union, fighting to keep the States together that would end slavery); that some chose to get on a boat instead of starve in Scotland; that my Marine Corps grandfather did not die in an invasion of Japan that didn't happen.
  
  I can find a dozen varieties of tortillas at the supermarket, but not one package of squirrel or crappie that I grew up on.
  
  I am white, but I am not privileged.
