Arkansas State Rep: ‘If Slavery Were So God-Awful, Why Didn’t Jesus Or Paul Condemn It?’

41. It's funny, isn't it? That dissonance.

I've heard several other white people gripe about how "easy" blacks an mexicans and natives have it in this country. Like it's the land of milk and honey. Of course, all those non-white people are totally government -subsidized, they get a free ride, unlike hardworking whites, don'cha know.

So, every time I hear this, I ask, "Well, if the technology existed, would you become a black person?"

The answer is never "yes." NEVER. They think on two levels; on one level, they know that life fucking IS harder for minorities in this nation and that whites, in general, have a privileged status by comparison. But htye also "know" that it's the other way around, because people keep telling them that it is so.

So they begrudge people who they also see as beneath them.

And that's racism in a nutshell.
