Wondering about my Wanderings

So what does white mean

I was listening to Public radio and someone was ranting about how whites do not even know what it means to be white. I do not know where to go with that but it did pique my interest.

I guess as a Swedish person of the lighter skin color than others, I think of the potential for sunburn, especially in this weather. I am real aware that my days as a majority are quickly dissipating, especially in the USA. That brings with it a bit of paranoia. That could be just me. I do recall coming to KC and walking and at one point living in a black neighborhood. It felt kind of strange. For a time I have worshipped as one of the only white in a black church and worked as one of the only whites at Burger King. I felt treated just fine. It was just strange.

I left the church partly because I moved and partly because my wife did not like it. As a Swede, part of my heritage, I try to be neutral and seek points of empathy. I do not know if I succeed or not. Being an introverted idealist kind of makes it easier to be idealistic. I think if I were black or Hispanic base on what I have heard from them, I would be afraid of the police and authorities. I would also have more limited resources than I have now and I do not have much.

I guess it is a good question. I wonder if people of other color think I am evil, because of what history has done in regards to things like racial bias and at present illegal aliens.
Any other thoughts out there!
