Do white liberals understand the white privilege they receive daily?

134. To me, the term "white supremacy" means a deliberate and concerted effort...

...to maintain whites as the dominant race to the detriment of other races. I don't agree that it is at the root of all racism and I don't believe it is that pervasive. That doesn't mean that racism doesn't exist. Racism does exist, but I believe the cause can't be assigned to a single factor, but is the result of a variety of issues impacting different people in different ways.

Let's say a black person can't get a taxi at night and available cabs are passing him by. It's racist, but it's also likely that many, if not most of the drivers passing him by are also black. Is this a white supremacy issue? It's most likely fear of getting mugged and all cabbies that drive at night worry about that. I believe the situation in NYC has improved in recent years, but some years back, a number of drivers were killed after taking passengers into largely minority areas. That is a historical fact that made it difficult for blacks to get cabs and reinforced stereotypes about black neighberhoods. It was an unfortunate situation, but not related to white supremacy.

Let's look at housing. I don't believe that people who oppose blacks moving into their neighberhood give white supremacy a second thought. Regardless of whether the fear is well founded or not, they worry about the value of their house. That's a selfish economic interest, not white supremacy.

There are other examples, like educational opportunity, but you get the point. I see racism and economic inequity as a complex problem with many facets. I see the cures as being equally complex with acknowledging "white Privilege" contributing little or nothing.
