Question: Why Must We Still Talk About Race? Answer: Twelve.

[Lancero]

7. As a number of people say here...

They think themselves free of white privilage just because their state fought for the Union, or because none of their ancestors owned slaves.

And a number of people are fools.

White privilege benefits all white people, despite the actions our ancestors took during the civil war. Whites from both northern and southern states - And western and eastern too - all whites benefit from white privilege.

It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's just something that one has to admit to existing, and to admit that they benefit from. It's just two simple things to do that so many seem to be incapable of.
