[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's divisive is the fact that whites are viewed by and large as individuals and given the benefit of the doubt so that their successes or failures in life are indicative of their individual decisions whereas people of color are not viewed as individuals they are viewed first and foremost based on the narrative of their collective and are subsequently denied individuality.  That is a privilege they have to earn by exceeding expectations and overcoming generalizations their very humanity is not automatically granted.[/quote]

Speak for yourself, I guess. I view everyone as equal. [/quote]

No if you are white you don't and its not your fault. Suppose you see a white guy jump a red light, you may think "this idiot guy" should be ticketed. But if you see a black guy jump a red light and if you think "this black idiot", then that is subtle racism and it is white privilege to not be associated with a group behavior and treated as individual. You can extrapolate this to any minority group.

If you are really honest, you will actually acknowledge this. [/quote]

Not the pp. 
WTF?  Are you getting into the minds of others now?  
Who exactly are you to tell the pp that he/she does not view everyone as equal?  
Do you have any idea how arrogant you sound?[/quote]
