People focus on the white privileged males.... ignoring that the U.S. is full of uneducated, broke, white males with little going for them. The country is like 70% white... so of course on a numerical basis you're going to come across more well to do whites than other races.
But as a white male - the U.S. did repress the Japanese, American Indian, Muslim, Black, Jewish, Hispanic etc in large swaths, and numerous other minority races in localized areas.
- wernercd 6y agoand, around the world, those groups repress others. It's almost as if it's a human condition not limited to "white". As a white male, I live in a country where I'm surrounded by successful people of all stripes - color, race, ethnicity, sexuality, etc, etc, etc. Do we have a perfect history as a country? no... but we also provide opportunity to all - and we have POC in EVERY level of society. From cops to Presidents.
- cycrutchfield 6y agoTIL that electing Barack Obama ended racism in America
- wernercd 6y agoTIL that I said something I never said... (Hint: I never said Obama ended racism... in fact, I wouldn't say that because his policies and his party have made racism WORSE with their identity politics and making everything about race.)
- amanaplanacanal 6y agoWhich Obama policies made everything about race? I totally missed that when he was president.
- czbond 6y agoAbsolutely - fully agree.
