In reply to the discussion: If you benefit from white privilege [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)35. What this is called is some bullshit.
Thats what this is.
You're seeing this shit right? Proof that i don't make this shit up. Everyday it's something different.
Either here a home i have white dudes telling me they want the country for blacks and whites only, because get this, " things were better for ALL of us when it was just us whites and blacks"
This was after he told me to go watch Roots, learn to shut up and stay in a womans place, tried to force his 100 pound girl friend to hit me, mooned me, called himself a viking,then he thinks i would want to live in a country alone with him.
Or i get the same damn question everyday and a dumbass websters dictionary definition.
There must be something about me that forces people to be asses.
Oh, woe is me!! Help!!!

Yes, there IS institutional racism. But it and personal racism aren't always the same thing.

I understand that you're wrong. 'Racism' and 'bigotry/prejudice' are not synonyms...
