1. I was a straight, married, middle-class, jocky white guy.
2. I had a 38 inch chest thanks to my pecs and took significant pride knowing that I could bench press over 300 pounds.
3. I had never knowingly experienced discrimination.
4. I rarely had to contend with a social consciousness because I lived in a comfortable little world where my family lived in the same house as I did.
5. I hadn't cried in 30 years and built walls to keep people at a distance.
