Then I returned to my home town and lived in friends houses until my mother finally said okay, come home. I came home. Two weeks later she found out her Mother was dying of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She was incapable of dealing with it, preferring to show off her Ph.D. and new car.

their cousin, Richard, for half a kilo of cocaine. From 15-17. I was shackled to a bed in a basement and used as a sex toy for grown men. Pedophiles. Greg came up for a visit and raped me brutally. Richard, who was not violent, let me go to a friend. I stayed with her for a week.

I was forced into prostitution and beaten regularly. Then two men, Greg and Glenn Nochenson from Livingston (there's your white privilge) came to "save" me. They were famous for killing their father over an argument to declaw a cat (they were on PCP actually). They traded me to

She picked up where he left off, telling me I was ugly, worthless, she never wanted me, I was a burden and a horrible bad child. By 15 I was abandoned to the streets of Newark, NJ. So what do you think happens to 15 year olds who are living on the street in dead winter?

He was forced from the house. I never saw him again. I was 13 and hyper-vigilant, so my mother felt I needed help. She sent me to the first Teen EST in New York. A cult. With a murderer as its leader. I couldn't sleep or eat, she got so angry she put me in the basement.

My parents were brilliant, but very ill people. I was sexually, physically and emotionally brutalized from 3 months of age. By puberty my father's illness escalated to the point where he burned my arm with boiling water, burned my face with hot oil, kicked me in the gut then..,

Indeed. I get so angry at people who base ideas on bias or systems that define us as anything but Human. I'm also reeling from the idea that privilige could ever apply to me. But people don't know why that is because when I talk about it, it's ugly as ugly gets.

I just deleted a post and blocked a person who said I should never deny I am white and privileged.
I am not "white", and I live under the poverty line.
To say that without knowing a damned thing about a human being IS the heart of racism.

No filter, no dress thing. Thank you for answering the literal question. Jokes and euphemisms have a time and place and it is not now and not in the USA.

Human is a race. With variants. One race if any at all. I agree. But the question is literal. WHAT COLOR DO YOU SEE IF YOU SEE. :D
