Re: I, Racist
After you read this, can you deny that racism and white privilege exist?

What does me being white have anything to do with it?

My question was in response to yours about "white privilege". So, are you white?

No. Do you feel guilt for being white?
Do you feel a white person who does not feel "white guilt" is racist?
Do you believe there is "Japanese privilege" in Japan, or "black privilege" in Congo?

Re: I, Racist
From the article:
"To understand, you have to know that Black people think in terms of Black people. We don’t see a shooting of an innocent Black child in another state as something separate from us because we know viscerally that it could be our child, our parent, or us, that is shot."
Suppose a person said "You need to understand that white people think in terms of white people."
Wouldn't be a statement in proof of "inherent racism of whites"?
Is it not then a statement of inherent racism of blacks?

Re: I, Racist
I was driving with a black friend. A cop pulled me over and I blurted out "Why is he pulling me over?"...without skipping a beat, my friend said seriously "Because Im black"
The cop pulled me over for expired tags. He didn't question my friend or ask for ID.
My friend ASSUMED it was because he was black
I was at a restaurant. I got there just before closing. After a few min they locked the doors. Several min later a black man tried to get in, but he could not. They said "We are closed". He said "but I see others eating. Is it because I am black?"
It really was closed. He assumed it was because he is black

No. I feel no guilt for being white. The article wasnt about guilt. Read it or get out of the thread.
