Here's some good news for all you black folks complaining about racism in America.
You don't know how good you have it.
At least that's the message I heard during one of the strangest conversations I've ever had about race. I was talking about the concept of white privilege -- the belief that being white comes with unearned advantages and everyday perks that its recipients are often unaware of. I asked a white retiree if he believed in the existence of white privilege. He said no, but there was another type of privilege he wanted to talk about:
"Black privilege."
Confused by his answer, I asked him to give me an example of a perk that I enjoyed as a black man that he couldn't. His answer: "Black History Month."
"In America you can't even talk about whiteness," said Drew Domalick, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "If you try to embrace being white, you are portrayed as being a racist. If we had a White History Month, that would be viewed as a racist holiday."
Domalick isn't the only one who believes in black privilege. The term is being deployed in conservative circles as a rhetorical counterattack to the growing use of the term "white privilege." It's part of a larger transformation: White is becoming the new black....

All these non-white racist should shun using anything that a white person invented, including language, drugs, alcohol, pavement et. etc....... See where that gets them.
That is 13% of the TOTAL population. If you look at the population that is just working age, it is less than that. County governments are even worse. Where I used to live, they where at least 50%.
I’ve seen your #8 reply before, but it’s still good.
Figures...
Typical White Chick...
Try being a high school or college white skill pmayer....running back wide receiver, defensive back. Break all sorts of records and see how you are ignored by scouts for black guys with no where near the accomplishments. It can be done if the stars align but the road is near impossible.
In any sport in which speed is critical, Blacks do well. I think the last White guy to win the Olympic 100 meters was Alan Wells of Scotland probably in 1980.
Still I think the scouts and coaches have gone overboard just automatically thinking the Blacks are better often overlooking a White kid who is just as good.
I have also noticed that Whites seem to do better at safety than at cornerback.
And if white people are so privileged, why is our life expectancy going down?
Martin Luther King said the same thing but with different words in his "I had a Dream" speech. You and Martin Luther King are both correct!
Something else about black privilege is that they don’t want to let whites “off the hook” as they call it.
