Being "white" isn't what you think it is.

A question that grew in my mind was “What does it mean to be “white”? This is one question I have never exactly contemplated; I’ve always thought about it as being of European decent and background. But studies have deduced that no “white” person is of pure “white” blood. It has been concluded that since ancestry runs so deep into the past, it is impossible for one in the United States to be pure “English” or pure “German”, “Irish” etc... So I realized “white” people are not even “white”.

            So what does “white” mean? “White” only identifies what one is NOT.  “White” can be another name for a “dominant group” or group with privilege, power and high social status. It supports the statement that there is no such thing as “race”. Since no one is filled of pure blood, then there ceases to be a “white” race or any other race for that matter. The social construct of “race” will break down eventually once people understand the illusion. The ones with privilege will relent to the truth that all human beings are created equal. I hope so.
