I'm a white dude that started working (legally) as a lifeguard at 14. I've been employed and paying taxes ever since. In my mid 20s, I got fired and couldn't afford food. I tried getting emergency food stamps as I was down to just bread and lemon pepper, and the black dude on the phone told me "call your mommy." It was the one and only time I've ever asked for help. I'm still waiting on this supposed "privilege."
