[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 71166182, member: 302807"] Really? You've never heard that being around white people is oppressive? I'm probably reading more editorials and blogs than you then...but don't be surprised if you start to see it in the future. I get it though...you see these things like a black man getting rejected for a loan, or pulled over by the police, and you don't want it to be "unfair". What is "fair" though? Surely you realize that people, blacks included, get rejected for loans or pulled over for entirely legitimate reasons. Those aren't the instances that you're talking about. We also can assume that people, black and white, get pulled over or rejected for loans for illegitimate reasons...which may not have anything at all to do with race. I'm guessing that isn't what you're talking about either. So, if I may venture a guess here...you're talking about those instances when a black person is treated unfairly specifically because of his/her race....is that about right? Can I also assume that you realize there's always going to be at least some small amount of idiots who do such things...treating others unfairly because of race....and that isn't what you mean when you say "white supremacy" because it's not a "small" thing....it's something very large that affects potentially millions of non-whites? I'm only asking these things because it's important to this question... How do you know there's this mass "unfair treatment based upon race" going on against non-whites? What is a "white by default" institution? What institution excludes blacks? And now MTV plays a dearth of black artists....at such a rate that they probably far exceed the percentage of blacks in the population. We're talking about a problem that exists now...so let's use examples from now...otherwise it ends up looking like you want people to answer for the mistakes of others in the past, and that's something that no one is willing to do. As someone who works in that particular institution....I can understand why it might seem that way if you latch onto the personal experiences of a few people who's opinions bolster your own....but having worked with local, state, and federal authorities across multiple states, that's not even remotely accurate to what I've seen. A lack of willingness to discuss these things is one of the common aspects I've noticed of the left these days....and it's not a sign of a strong position. [/QUOTE]
