So the minorities have the power? I think not. It's the white man that rules this landBecause when you are a minority in the USA, the accusation of racism against a white person is a very powerful tool. Ending racism would take away that power, and such people do not want to lose that power
I think a Chinese woman who went to college here has not had the same experience of a black man who grew up here. Didn't you say something about Asians have it better than white men?Do you think that people who don't endlessly go on about racism haven't experienced any? If she's an Asian woman in a western multiethnic, multiracial nation for any length of time....I'd guess she probably brushed up against some racism, whether big or small. I'm certain that she's aware of it in her own nation where the vast majority feel no need to hide it.
It's hard to let go of being treated like a second class citizen.There's lots of possible reasons. If you're a racist...and you justify your racism by claiming some victim hood status....then you don't want to let that victim hood status go
Good for you, own your racism if that's how you feel.Oh I'm long since past the concerns of "my image" or "my good name" or lying to people to appease them in some way
Of course I am very aware of racial attitudesDo you think that people who don't endlessly go on about racism haven't experienced any?

Not quite sure what you are meaning by this, but I can assure you, there is no single person who rules the USA, it is ruled by a variety of people; of all races, religions, ethnicities and colors.So the minorities have the power? I think not. It's the white man that rules this land
Yeah, but when it comes to corporate America it's mostly white guys.Not quite sure what you are meaning by this, but I can assure you, there is no single person who rules the USA, it is ruled by a variety of people; of all races, religions, ethnicities and colors.

Yeah; and when it comes to the dirt poor, it's mostly white guys.Yeah, but when it comes to corporate America it's mostly white guys.
Most alcoholics do actually, they just prefer to continue drinking.Sometimes the alcoholic doesn't really understand the drink is what's killing him.
Maybe you should.That's why I never accepted any blame or guilt or shame for it...
So what, they run corporate America. No matter how much you champion their cause you will never be white.Yeah; and when it comes to the dirt poor, it's mostly white guys.
Corporate America does not run this country; Politicians do.So what, they run corporate America. No matter how much you champion their cause you will never be white.

Maybe you should.
And there it shows how you don't know what lobbyists are. Politicians are puppetsCorporate America does not run this country; Politicians do.
Because you are so gung-ho about proving there is no racism in this countryWhy is that?
So when I said I didn't accept any guilt or shame for being white....Because you are so gung-ho about proving there is no racism in this country
Not for being white but maybe for being a racistWhy should I accept guilt, blame, or shame for being white?
First of all, if Corporate America ran this country, they wouldn’t need lobbyists to influence politicians.And there it shows how you don't know what lobbyists are. Politicians are puppets
They get their business doneThat’s why you have different business often promoting politicians on opposite ends of the business spectrum.
I had grown up in a place a time where a thick "southern" accent sounded....dumb to me. This wasn't anything spoken....nobody told me this....but that's how it sounded. When I got older and realized it, and recognized that it was itself a stupid belief... I tried really hard to figure out where it came from. I never really did though. My best guess is just tv and movies from when I was very young.Of course I am very aware of racial attitudes
here, including my hostility at the sound of
British accent , and hatred of Japanese.
At uni in NYC I impulsively sat by a Japanese
girl in class. We are both tiny like 150 cm.
She is just the nicest person ! She invited
me to visit in Japan, I've had her here.
My prejudice just evaporated. And left
me feeling foolish for my past attitude
but so much better! Cleaner.
I also said to myself. Quit being like
that toward British! Especially coz
also at uni, a British prof i
respected so much!
As for what I have or have not
experienced at the hands of an
American racist, I'm not about to
play "more victimer than you" in a
hostile debate with anyone. Ugh!
Obsessing about racism is for losers.
Im determined to be a winner, not let
fear hate or trauma control me.
Good for you, now let go of your prejudice. Unless you are incapable of doing that. Then do youI just realized one day that I had this really unreasonable prejudice.
