What is also true is that the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives — you know, that casts a long shadow. And that's still part of our DNA that's passed on.--President Obama
I won't even go into the reams of literature in our institutions of higher learning on white privilege.
To deny the demonization of white men is happening is disingenuous. It is.
How much of that is institutionalized the same way that bias is for blacks and other minorities?
All I see above are opinion pieces that are, I'm fairly confident, not required reading for anyone anywhere in this country.
I've little doubt that I could, if I could stomach it, find equally spurious articles detailing how minorities have ruined this country and have decimated that very white privilege that so many want to deny exists.
All one has to do is look at some of the posts about affirmative action to see how many do not want the playing field leveled.
If that isn't implicit privilege, I don't know what is.
Exactly no matter what skin color everyone has degrees of racism. However what the jerk was trying to imply that only whites are racists. Didn't he once say that only whites have racism in their DNA.
LOL, no he didn't .I see facts are not prominent in your DNA.
This is certainly a thread expressing extreme annoyance.
Who started it, anyway?
I`m pretty sure it was started by a racist who wasn`t a racist until we had a black president. That`s his story and he`s sticking to it.
He marched with MLK back in the day.
This man has the audacity to tell Americans how racist we are? A black man Americans elected twice to the highest office? He has constantly stirred the pot of identity politics, discontentment, us vs them.
What happened to e pluribus unum? Obama will leave this country's highest office having accomplishing just the opposite.
I've read a lot of your posts. You're OFTEN audacious. Do you have some right the president does not?
Do you disagree with the President's statement?
Why is it so upsetting to you that the President has stated such?
...
I can answer that -- "Here comes Suzie Snowflake". They can't stand to hear truth when stated by a non-White person. It upsets them to no end.
