[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 74386505, member: 400000"] One does not need to be an active participant in a conspiracy to still have responsibilities. Being a good citizen means knowing what one's representatives are doing in one's name. For most of my life I just bounced around assuming that 'my' life was just like everyone else's life because I trusted those in charge. I misplaced my trust because I didn't do my due diligence. You may well feel exonerated from responsibility because no one actively enlisted you into the conspiracy, I don't. What I mean by the metaphor is that white people simply get treated better at all stages of life than people of color. It is even the small things like us white people can drive an expensive car without being stopped to find out if we really own it or not. I don't think I have to 'know' if they are judging me fairly or not. I do know that they will not accept that I judge myself fairly. I guess it has to do with just being willing to trust them.
