[QUOTE="IceJad, post: 74185580, member: 112074"] I'm not an American or a Westerner or White. My post is mostly influence by the things happening in East Asia and South East Asia. But I'm well verse on US history. I know of the American Civil War to the civil rights movement to the divisive politics that permeate American society now. Everyone reaps benefits from acts of others whether is good or bad. Doesn't give us the right to force the "benefactors" to pay recompense. To ask others to check their privilege is the wrong mind set. It's an extension of crime by association. It's no different that walking up to their face and telling them they are the victimizers. Every country has racism problem. From every race of people. It's not unique to the US. Racism is not unique to one race. Your focus on benefits and how people should be honest with it is far from fixing the root of the problem. You're just appropriating blame on other people. Do you believe that people in general go out of their way to make sure others don't get the same benefits as themselves? The way to fix the problem is not to dismantle the system now but to make sure everyone regardless of race benefits from the system. Everyone gets to participate in the system that have benefited what was previously exclusive to only certain people. Instead of saying "check your privilege" how about "let's get all the same privilege". The outcome will be the same but the way you get there will be different. One makes enemies of people the other open doors for friendship. The point of no return is when the point you give up. [/QUOTE]
