“ Face it, everyone likes to feel a little oppressed now and then. There’s a coolness about being the embittered, persecuted rebel. That’s why they make t-shirts of Malcolm X and Che Guevara and not Al Roker or Charo. Now, though, the prevailing opinion is that I’m no longer oppressed, that I’m part of some privileged class with expectations of not only upward mobility, but upward supremacy. Finally I realize how hard white people have had it all these years.
