Alright guys you heard here first, we live in a post-racial society.Ibanez wrote:You're done, you've already contradicted yourself. Face it, your 2 black friends are no match for the 100+ years of life experiences and friendships that many of have over you. My best friend is black, but his hatred of the term nigger and his embarrassment of the black cultural is anecdotal. You need to look at the group from a socio-economic standpoint. The civil war was over 148 yrs ago, JimCrow has been over for decades. Those that lived during that time are the minority of the black population. History only gets you so faryoungterrier wrote:

Again, the unemployment numbers for blacks and people of color are much higher, the average income both individually and by household is much lower for blacks/other people of color than white people. There are more racist jokes against black people both in media and throughout culture than jokes about white people.
and still, a black person is more likely to get stopped by cops (who are predominately white), most of the senators and congressmen are white, most business owners are white, most media personalities are white. Everywhere you look in the social and economic positions of power (with the exception of the president thankfully) you see white faces perpetuating injustices against people of color, whether it be directly through things such as police brutality and killing of unarmed people of color, or subliminally through media representations and caricatures of race.
Being white in our society is a position of privilege in comparison to being black.
(though I agree your special needs child should have better funding and the reasoning is similar but different)
