Easier for you to say that because you are white. But you have to love yourself first before you can love other. :wave:

Do you believe that you have more privilege than say your fellow black? If you say no, you are blind and ignorant. If you say yes, then you are stupid white fe-male. There is no win-win for you as being white fe-male.

I dont like to be guilty or anything but I am trying to say that I dont care about privilege because I care about other people including you. That what I want in this world, EQUALITY AND WORLD PEACE I am not gonna to explain in exact details.

Sad isn't it? But by the same token, I m tired of hearing minority groups using race card. Too many people complain about racism when they should work hard to get within the system. Sucks to suck up to majority but it s better than staying home and blame everything that does not going in your way. I wish governement stop giving free checks to people so people would not being bum and blaming whites for everything. Jeez.

Why is it that those who are benefactors of white priviledge always accuse those who aren't of playing some abstract thing called a "race card". I don't remember ever being issued one of those.

Do you not think we should just accept defeat and playing blame games? No, we have the opportunities in America to lead productive life. Dont waste your time by whining/complaining but seize the opportunities!

That is a bit difficult to do when opportunities are restricted as a result of the very sociological concept we are discussing.

We have plenty of wealthy black or asian people. I think those who play blames game are likely to collect welfare and spend money on drugs/alcohol.

I would agree if we re in 60's but not today. Stop complain/whining. Take responsibility and hold urself accountable for your action.

That's where you are showing a complete misunderstanding of the phenomenon known as "white prioviledge." It has nothing to do with blaming, and the African American academics who have studied the concept, as well as the cuacasion academics who have studied the concept, illlustrate that fact.

There are far more caucasions receiving assistance from welfare programs than there are people of color. Likewise, there are far more caucasions treated for alcohol and drug addictions, as well as living with active addictions that there are people of color.

You really need to get your facts straight before you start spewing a bunch of racially offensive nonsense.

And I am completly accountable.

Do not we improve since 60's? I am saying stop blaming system or use race card. I have seen ma.ny and plenty of minorities being success. Why? Because they dont blow their opportunites away and they work hard to get what they want.

I am curious to hear other alldeafmember who is african-american opinion about this issue.
