We get the honor of police escorts around town from time to time in the form of being pulled over and encouraged to discuss news in the community.

Those of us in primarily caucasian work environments get the honor of anger management testing every time a coworker says some coded racist stuff and we have to force ourselves to not respond appropriately.

Some of us have the privilege of being escorted out the club for dressing too much like a criminal.

Some of us have the privilege of answering common questions all the time like "do you know where I can buy some weed?.

You see ^^ all these privileges and think that's wonderful right? The best privilege is the fear. That's right fear. It can be 8 PM on a well lit street and people will clutch their belongings tightly and run away from you out of fear. This fear extends to all aspects of nonverbal interaction as you navigate different environments.

This sounds like a question Charlemagne would ask Alt Right Andy.
