White Privileged Card Poem by Randy McClave

She had a, "For Sale" sign in her yard
For sale was her white privilege card,
She stated that it was new and unused
And it has never been mistreated or abused.
So, if you're black, yellow, red or brown
You can buy it from her and carry it in any U.S town,
The privilege card according to her is white
It's not red or yellow or brown or black as the night.

She says the card is in mint condition
It's a card to all and any white admission,
And the reason she said for the selling
She was tired of all the false accusations and yelling.
She said that it's never done anything for her
Never from the government or anyone was she entitled as a member,
No free food, or free housing anywhere across the nation
Just because she is a Caucasian.

Her parents and grandparents had white privileged cards
Which they held in the highest regards,
They used it to sit on any train or on a bus
While non-whites had to stand and fuss.
Their cards entitled them to any restaurant for fun
And the white privileged card holders had their own water fountain,
And one great benefit that unto her parents and grandparents gave
They were never sold or owned as a slave.

She said she had to go to work every day of my life
While paying a boatload of taxes and holding strife,
Just to carry those who chose not to work
Us white privileged card holders they treated us as a jerk.
She is willing to sale her privilege card for cash
Maybe then she could have a bash,
Or better yet she hopes to trade it for a victims card instead
She said, "Those non-white's have countless benefits", she read".
