At first, I thought this blog was going to be difficult. I then thought about what privilege has always meant coming from my parents and how I have always heard it used.

    Then, I thought about the old civil rights movements. All the protesting, speeches, everything. They just wanted the same rights as everyone else. Then it hit me. Discrimination is not giving certain people privilege to certain things. Privilege is the right to do things. I know it seems simple but it kind of blew me away when I really thought about it. Affirmative action stopped discrimination in the workplace for the most part. People will get caught not giving equal opportunities to people of other races everyday.

    I’ve always felt its wrong to discriminate, but now I feel more strongly about it. I never liked discrimination, and I never will give in. I don’t give certain privileges to people and never will.
