institutional, power driven racism is a white construct. Has been from the beginning. Eveerything in OP is truth. I know it hurts you to think you can be the object of bigotry and maybe you just don't want to admit an historical truth because racism is a purely white american construct in this context. I can be bigoted toward you, yet I have not the means to segregate your race along economic, educational and civil/voting rights lines. I do not have the ability to stop your right to vote as many black people are being denied even in our 'free' democracy in many states in this 21st century. No your objections lack merit because they are based on an emotional response with NOTHING to prove that black people are playing on a level field and therefore have the power to back up and even kill based on race as many whites have and are doing under the authority of the state and it's institutions. Everthing in this country has provided the white race with all the opportunies to succeed, all they have to do is claim their due based on white privilege. There is no black privilege in america. American institutions both educational and civil have ALWAYS been able and still are able to deny a black family that can afford it housing in white neighborhoods with group racism. Some states are denying affirmative action as a redress of generations long racism in the educational area that only impacts worthy and striving POC. Black people don't have white privilege, you do based on the institutional and civil racism that is as american as apple pie and still quite a tool always handy to the white race in america.

I can be a bigot but since I cannot apply any institution against you to deny your dreams as white privilege allows you, white racial policies have done to AA for many generations everything I used as examples to deny equal footing in america. I cannot be a racist. This bullshit about black people practicing reverse racism is just that, bullshit.
