my skin color does not show who i am

i'm white and i do not have a nice den

i'm white and i don't have a good weekly income

in fact, my skin color leads me to be shunned

the idea that i live a good life

is really false, don't believe the hype!

I'm white and i'm not that privileged

and believing this doesn't much help my image

i just want to expose raw fact

that being white isn't a walk in the park, it comes with a lot of problems that are laid out flat.
i've seen so many posts online about 'white privilege' and all that junk and while some posts about it are sadly true, there's a lot of false points being brought up such as saying that 'reverse racism' is not true and that white people have an easier time getting benefits.

these are not true and it really upsets me that some believe they are.
