I'm white

I'm white. But what does that mean? To me it says that i'm rich, self-centered, egotistical, and ignorant. It's truely understated that just as many whites disrepect our race as blacks disrespect theirs. But what seperates us? Whites have done a lot to equalize the rights and privaleges for blacks, but we have done nothing to understand what it is to be black. Genetically we are over 98% the same, but i'm not like a black man. I'm white. My culture, heritage, beliefs, and upbringing were all characteristically white, and I know nothing of what is to be black. We will never be the same and to believe so is a crude version of racism. We all carry things on our shoulders, and if we ever want some sort of tranquility, all we need is acceptance. If we just accepted that we were different, things would be a lot easier. Instead we fight to be the same.
