Blog #38 I Was Once a Normal Person

 I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me privileged, a racist, and responsible for slavery. 

 I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget, and support myself. 

 I went to school for 19 years and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged".

 I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me homophobic. 

 I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

 I am older than 70, making me a useless dinosaur who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat. 

 I think, and I reason, and I doubt most of what the ‘mainstream’ media tells me, which makes me a Right-wing conspiracy nut. 

 I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe. 

 I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair reward according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

 I believe our system guarantees freedom of opportunity not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath. 

 I believe in the defense and protection of my nation for and by all citizens, now making me a militant. 

 I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem - so I must be a radical. 

 Funny - it all took place over the last decade! 

 If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which toilet to use! 

 BLESS ALL OF US NORMAL PEOPLE!!!
