Number 13
Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color to not work against the appearance of financial reliability.
This privilege stuck out to me, because I think it is relatively true. I do believe that it is a stereotype for younger black teens to young adults more so that older black adults. I believe that most cashiers that take my money wonder where I got my money from. You would think that white cashiers would have this type of thought, but I've been in black stores where they pause and look at me after I hand them the cash. Sometimes I wonder what goes on through their head while I'm paying for my items, whether I stole the money or if it's drug money. The reason I believe that they think its drug money because I normally pay with twenty dollar bills, but most people carry around twenty's. This is sort of racism 2.0, because they think about where my moneys, but they don't want to ask where it come from. Why can't they just understand that I got bread??
