I love it when white Dudes proclaim to know the cure for white privilege

[penultimate]

91. I'm reading through the thread and it's still unclear.

I wanted to ask in my own way, because I feel that often times people phrase their questions in a hostile way because they assume the intentions of others. I try not to assume the intentions of other as much as I possibly can, and much prefer to have explicit confirmations to ensure an understanding of others viewpoints. I find that makes discussions about these sorts of subjects far more enlightening and productive.

DU is a discussion board, and it seems reasonable to believe that your intent was to have your comment/observation discussed. The original post seemed more like a broad statement about white dudes in general, as opposed to a specific instance of a person speaking about something with authority from a point of ignorance. I see references from you in other parts of thread that may suggest you're speaking about a specific instance/person, but then there are other posts that go more toward a more broad statement being made.

So the reason I asked was so I could get a more accurate feeling for what you're getting at, without it being tainted by other's who may have asked similar questions that were tinged with a knee-jerk hostility toward your initial post.
