These policies exist because we live in an imperfect system that does see race and actively favors whiteness. It’s the pinnacle of white privilege and ignorance to say that “I don’t see race.”
- toomuchtodo 6y ago> It’s the pinnacle of white privilege and ignorance to say that “I don’t see race.” Who gets to decide when "white privilege" no longer exists? Not intended to be inflammatory, just curious what the benchmark is. “If you can't measure it, you can't improve it.” sort of thing.

With the powerful lobbying and incentives the corporations have on how the government functions, these organizations and the people who control them have the most power to influence the country. The answer to the question "when has power been appropriately dispersed" is ultimately simple--Look at the makeup of the executive leadership at the most powerful companies. When it consistently matches the demographic makeup of the country as a whole, then it will have largely been demonstrated that there is a certain level of equality.
