what do you mean trade places? Would I still be married to my wife and have my kids or are we talking Freaky Friday pick a random guy and switch places? That's a dumb questions would you trade places with any random person?

do you mean would I elect to be a different color if I had that magical power? or should we just talk about what you're really implying, that because my skin is lighter than my mother and sisters I'm some how privileged and they are not. I mean surely white privilege doesn't extend to dark Spanish women correct? But it would to me since I have a more Canadian skin tone like my Father, I guess I'm only half privileged, a white washed minority if you will.

I'm thinking more like freaky Friday.  You have your own mind and memories, but everyone thinks you are the other person. 
Yes, if you think too hard about it, you'd have to say no, no matter how successful the other person was, because the whole process would drive most people insane.
But on a superficial, gut reaction level, none of that is supposed to matter.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
