White people don't want to talk about it

[XemaSab]

65. White people don't want to talk about it

because if every single question about inequality is answered with, "Because white people are terrible," there's not really much to discuss, is there?

Here's an example:

"Why do only about 1/4 of black males in NYC graduate from high school on time?"

"Because white people are terrible."

Here's another example:

"Why are black people 8 times more likely to be homicide victims than white people are?"

"Because white people are terrible."

Here's a final example:

"Why are black people 8 times more likely to get HIV than white people are?"

"Because white people are terrible."

If anyone has any answers to any of these questions that don't reduce down to "Because white people are terrible," please do share.

(And to clarify, I believe that white people are PART of the problem in each of these situations, but it seems like the expectation is that white people will recognize their own culpability, become enlightened, and these problems will disappear. That's not how reality works.)
