Thinking in terms of competition and survival of the fittest I don't blame the white man for the inhuman, vile, disgusting things he's done to currently sit in the #1 position of power in the world. From slavery, the trail of tears, the transcontinental railroad, Jim Crow laws, voter fraud, etc. All these things were tactics to rise to power in a new world. They used the labor of others and became rich and powerful as a result.
Today the US is the world's super power and white men run this country. I honestly believe its human nature to be selfish, greedy, and have a mob like mentality. There's a saying "a person is smart but people are dumb". If you combine human nature with peer pressure to do borderline evil things that will increase you/your families quality of life you will get things like slavery.
These men who did horrific things hundreds of years ago have paved the way for their younger generations to live easier and more comfortable. Is it wrong? Yes. Can I blame them? I don't know. The world is changing slowly but white men can see their stronghold over the nation and world fading. That's why you could see the blind support for a Romney and the pain in their eyes when he lost. They don't want to play fair. And that's human nature.
So as much as I hate being on the outside looking in at the "white privilege" and living as a second class citizen as a minority I guess I can understand it. I won't accept it. I won't say it was right. I won't say deal with it. But I can say I understand why it happened and I think I'd do the same.
I know there's a lot wild white supremacist out there and they believe in ridiculous reasons to why they are "better" or whatever but I think the majority of white people in today's world that do "racial" things is because they don't want to lose power not because they think they are "better". Alot of old folks, southerners, extremist will continue to do things but that mindset is slowly fading. The new age racism is an attempt to keep that White advantage alive.
I guess we have made progress if you change people from thinking you are a savage beast to just wanting more money, land, and opportunity than you. It was the most obvious when Bill O'Reilly said after the election "People want things now". He was really disgusted that minorites AND poor people wanted a piece of that "white privilege".
If 2 guys get violent but one has a gun do you think he's gonna put it down to fight a "fair one". Only a dummy would. When a minority becomes a majority do their values change? That's an interesting question. My question is what happens in a hypothetical world when we are basically equal? Somebody is going to make a move for that #1 spot. Nobody wants equality really they just say that as long as they are doing well.
IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM AM I'M SUPPORTING just saying I understand and that's a BIG difference.
What do ya'll think? And please don't respond without reading the whole thing.
