Are you saying if your union hadn't been racially segregated, you wouldn't have had the job? I'm not sure you were privileged. You simply weren't a victim of discrimination.

BTW I also financed my college education with a union construction job (ironworking), though there were both black and white apprentices at the time (I was an apprentice too - only finishing the apprenticeship when I no longer needed to ironwork).
