Anytime somebody recognizes the racial inequality of the country that benefits white people, some people interpret it as hating white people or white guilt because David Duke pushed that rhetoric so hard.

Yet somehow Obama won the presidency twice against those mean ol' whites. Amazing.

Who ever said white people are mean. See, you're taking the David Duke propaganda.

Edit: And I guess you're conveniently forgetting the literally racist propaganda thrown Obama's way that no white president has ever faced.

It is in the way you are thinking about it. If you broke down the stats city by city, community by community and went down to the individual level, you'll find a million different stories that all contradict eachother. Racism exists and has an effect on people's lives. Sometimes even at the community level. But anything beyond that is debatable.

But I've said it before and I'll say it again: Obama wouldn't have even won once, much less twice, in a country where white power somehow trumps everything else. You also wouldn't have anyone wealthy across other backgrounds other than whites. Among countless other things I could mention.

Anteater you are very patient mate.

Statistics say other wise.

Just because our system is less racist doesn't mean it isn't racist at all.

There were rich black dudes during slavery, actually.

Every statistician will tell you that this is the most accurate way to gauge societal norms.

I'm only ashamed of you being white.
