Respectfully, that’s not what white privilege means and I don’t think anyone has asked you to do that.No? How so? So just because I’m white I should apologize. Got it.
All due respect, there are people still experiencing outright racism and discrimination today. Just because you're a minority and not experiencing racism doesn't invalidate other people's perspectives and experiences.I'm a minority and have experienced racism from both sides of white and black, especially in the 80's. Now though, the only time I really hear it is when someone is screaming that someone else is racist. It's the first thing that people run to when something isn't going exactly the way they want it. I believe what's keeping racism alive in this country is the people claiming that others are.
It's a sensitive subject sure, but we can have an adult conversation about it without insulting others who might not agree. I don't think it's gotten out of hand yet, and hopefully we can still have some reasonable discussion of it.Yeah it seems like the race topic is very touchy on this forum. Perhaps it might just be better to lock it or move it to the locker room.

Everything from this snippet of your post tells me that you've never been anywhere near the DC area and you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.Your handle explains everything. You live in that twisted bubble called DC. Venture out sometime and you’ll see that real Americans actually love each other and support each other. We’re not pawning for political points like in that cesspool you call home. Find another hill to die on.
You are right. I’ll just get my popcorn out and watch .Or the ones who don’t want to discuss don’t have to click on the thread

I'm not really seeing that DC bubble. People are the same here as most any other large metropolitan area. The major difference is the number of people working for the federal government, which is significant. But even that is a bit overstated. As a percentage of the overall DC population, it's really not that much. A lot of people work in the private sector or contracting businesses, which are larger in numbers than the federal government.It's like somehow a DC bubble is more enclosed than the bubble any of the rest of us live in.
Rural areas are in a bubble that are worse than any other part of the country IMO.
I didn't say I don't experience racism, it's just way less than what it was. I truly believe there are more false claims of racism than outright what it used to be like.
