That's my conclusion too. There's no question that somewhere, someone has lost out because of the color of their skin, and because someone was a bigot.

But it doesn't happen nearly as often as some would claim it does. And, there are bigots of all colors and from all backgrounds. Just because your skin color is not white, doesn't mean that you're incapable of being in a position to treat someone else unfairly, judge them, and to also abuse your position of authority due to your bigotry. All humans are capable of doing this.

Yes the magic anti-bias fairy just passed her wand over the nation and white racism just magically disappeared.

It was truly miraculous.

White privilege isn't an excuse it is a challenge that has to be overcome.

you're mixing issues. white racism exists just like black racism exists. I asked whether or not the made out of thin air idea of white privilege was an excuse. keep up.

What's the point of this thread? I realize CD skews heavily towards a white supremacist extreme right wing audience, but if you just want people to agree with your denial of objective reality, wouldn't something like StormFront suit you better?

This means nothing without factoring in their incomes. Having the money to properly defend yourself means a hell of a lot more than race. SJWs have a difficult time understanding that though.
