So my question....why does it seem that prejudice against White people is tolerated...or even encouraged to some degree? Further...why are white people encouraged to be apologetic (see below).
I think it's because historically white people were so oppressive that the perception is that any blow back they get from it now, they had it coming.
Also, it's probably because racist white people intuitively know it is within their interests to take any racism as then they're justified (in their minds) in giving it back.

I know, it's so darned hard being white. I mean, we were strung up for trying to vote, hanged for "looking the wrong way" at a black woman, forced to sit in the back of the bus, not allowed in upper class hotels and such,.
And just how many more decades have to go by before people stop living in the past and start realizing that whites alive today had nothing to do with the past? Sure some are still racists but so are many of other races today.

...Oh, wait, no we weren't.
None of that happened in Canada, yet blacks here still act the same as their counterparts in America. Please explain why this is?

Blacks and those who support them will NEVER give up the past because that would mean giving up the eternal victim card. If they give that up, then what will they have left to blame the violent behavior of many blacks, the high crime rates and their continued high rates of poverty? They're certainly not going to blame themselves at all for their predicament.

Well, gee, I don't live in Canada, so I don't have a point of reference. White people are not oppressed.
ill play max sterling's game and say that whites deserve it because it's part of there nature to be racist and that they deserve whatever comes there way.
