Put a finger down if you have been called a racial slur.
Put a finger down if you've been followed in a store unnecessarily.
Put a finger down if someone has crossed the street to avoid passing you.
Put a finger down if you've had someone clinch their purse in an elevator with you.
Put a finger down if you've had someone step off of an elevator to keep from riding with you.
Put a finger down if you've been accused of not being able to afford something expensive.
Put a finger down if you have had fear in your heart when being stopped by the police.
Put a finger down if you have never been given a pass on a citation that you deserved.
Put a finger down if you have been stopped or detained by police for no valid reason.
Put a finger down if you have been bullied solely because of your race.
Put a finger down if you have been denied service solely because of the colour of your skin.
Put a finger down if you've ever had to teach your child how not to get killed by the police.
Any fingers left? That's privilege.
