Please don't confuse people with facts. No one actually wants to acknowledge personal responsibility and individual actions are leading to a lack of personal and economic success for individuals. It has to all be racism.  Convenient excuse.

I definitely understood the sarcasm and have a great appreciation for sarcasm as it a derivative of irony. You know what would be ironic - if the next generation of blacks get rich from owning tanning salons and reaping in millions from disenfranchised whites who want to get their tan on so they can pass as someone else like Negroes of the early 20th century had to do for decades to achieve success since society essentially brainwashed them into hating their heritage. |

You're too far gone at this point. If you're this angry, then move. I fail to see what's holding you down here if you'e still "feeling the effects of slavery." Obviously, you don't see the US as your country, right? So if you're too angry to move forward - or to too hostile to change a system b.c you think all whites are the same - then go. But based on your hostility, you sound seriously ill - and slightly dangerous IMO. |

Lol - I don't know what it is...the pipe, the bottle, the needle, or some undiagnosed/untreated psychotic disorder perhaps...but whatever it is, something is definitely disrupting your critical thinking skills. I have no doubts whatsoever that this country which was built into the richest and most powerful in the world due in large part to the hundred-plus years of free agricultural and industrial labor by my forefathers is MY country to say nothing of all the other sacrifices made and lives lost by them to make white privilege the socioeconomic and sociopolitical beast that remains to this day. Nah, I ain't going nowhere but I'm not going to live forever - nonetheless, like I said earlier karma is a bitch and time is infinite so what goes around will ultimately come around the only unknown is when - that I am not angry about. |

Seriously, and in all kindness, you need some mental help and the sooner the better. |

That's very kind of you to offer but no, you can keep the mental illness diagnosis - using that excuse to escape accountability has been a staple of white privilege for so long I wouldn't feel right taking advantage of it. |

Believe me, I get what she was saying. She is hoping there will come a time when white people have to suffer racism. I sure hope she's an anomaly and that the vast majority of blacks would disagree with her, because if this is a commonplace attitude - that they actually WANT to see another race experience racism! - well, my sympathies for their plight will go straight out the window. I will assume that she is a rare bird. |

That'd be a pretty safe assumption that my opinions are an anomaly because as evidenced by the overwhelming reaction to Dylan Roof's rampage black people are considerably forgiving of white radicalism, however as the Riots of 65 and Ferguson have shown it's the continuing systemic racism that they just can't excuse or exempt and why not...life sucks am I right? The modus operandi of this country has been about systematically lifting up one race for centuries and telling everybody else to deal with the hand they're dealt or work harder and overcome more obstacles to gain a slight sense of equality so should the demographics change and the system starts leaning toward uplifting another race besides whites then I say keep the modus operandi in effect - it's what made this country great right? Let white folks deal with it or work harder to acquire some semblance of equality why should they be exempt? |

The mere fact that you think that white people don't have to "work" of anything that they have (i.e., everything is handed to them because of supposed white priv) simple highlights your lack of touch with reality. We understand you are angry at your life and are looking for someone to blame. Look within. |

I once worked with a very racist black woman who demonstrated this same attitude - that whites have everything handed to them on a silver platter and live lives of wonderful "privilege." I once showed that woman a photo of my parents, and I remember to this day what she said (because it was such a shock): "Well, there's another rich white couple who have never known a day of trouble." How the F would she know that? When I told her that my mother has a serious and chronic illness that had her hospitalized numerous times - twice for almost six months each instance - and that she has fought off death a number of times, she got quiet. |

Peep this... The 1830 Indian Removal Act forcibly relocated Cherokee, Creeks and other eastern Native Americans to west of the Mississippi River to make room for white settlers and the 1862 Homestead Act followed suit, giving away millions of acres - for free - of what had been Indian Territory west of the Mississippi. Ultimately, 270 million acres, or 10% of the total land area of the United States, was converted to private hands, overwhelmingly white, under Homestead Act provisions. Blacks attempting to do such found their homes/communities burned to ashes or they themselves were killed for having the audacity to do such. White folks benefited. The federal government never followed through on General Sherman's Civil War plan to divide up plantations and give each freed slave "40 acres and a mule" as reparations. Only once was monetary compensation made for slavery, in Washington, D.C. There, government officials paid up to $300 per slave upon emancipation - BUT NOT TO THE SLAVES, no the money went to local slaveholders as compensation for loss of property. White folks benefited. The Federal Housing Administration established under FDR's "New Deal" helped generate much of the wealth that so many white families enjoy today. The revolutionary programs made it possible for millions of average white Americans - but not others - to own a home for the first time and the government set up a national neighborhood appraisal system, explicitly tying mortgage eligibility to race. Integrated communities were ipso facto deemed a financial risk and made ineligible for home loans hence reinforcing segregation - basically a policy still enacted today but known as "redlining." Between 1934 and 1962, the federal government backed $120 billion of home loans, more than 98% of went to whites. Of the 350,000 new homes built with federal support in northern California between 1946 and 1960, fewer than 100 went to African-Americans. White folks benefited big time and have been from Day One. I'm not trying to suggest that white people haven't worked but I know damn well you better not be trying to argue that white people haven't benefited while blacks have had to work harder to acquire the same freedoms and benefits. Regardless of whether the benefit is right now, today, as we speak in the present day or whether it was inherited from a previous generation the fact remains that while white folks may have had to work for what they got they didn't have to work like slaves, am I right? Nor did they have to work extra hard just to be afforded equal opportunity - they just had to work, period - whereas blacks had to work extra hard for decades just to be even given a hint of consideration for a non-menial job not to mention the extra work they had to put in to rebuke the intense scrutiny that societal racism stamped on them suggesting that they were inherently incompetent enough to do anything besides menial labor. Yeah whites worked hard but they had a plethora of occupations to choose from while blacks worked hard for who knows how long relegated to shit like shining shoes and being house servants. SMH... |

Point being? And if you want to get technical with it, there are about 60k modern day slaves in the U.S. right now (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/07/opinion/slavery-isnt-a-thing-of-the-past.html). How much are you willing to bet some of of "owners" are white? I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but I couldn't help myself. |

Lol - I appreciate the assistance but please, just call me an angry black person not a troll it's okay to align with my detractors on that I'm not offended. |

Why don't you move? Seriously, if you can't stand white people that much move to a Caribbean island or an African country where you can go many, many days with zero interactions with white people. |
