I do not know at a biological or emotional level what it is like to be Black. White privilege was my birthright. Poverty, and homosexuality, and a propensity toward obesity were equally my birthright, and I have experienced prejudice for all of those reasons.

A Bunch Of 'Karens' - Why Are Female High Profile Democrats So Miserable, Angry, And Hate-Filled?
As a conservative can you name a female Congress person not of your state? Either in the U.S. Senate or the U.S. House of Representatives?

Unfortunately national negative news sticks in the mind far longer than good news does. Perhaps that is the medias' mindset of "if it bleeds, it leads."
