However, this discussion was brought up on other website. A user created a forum to vent their frustrations titled"What Pisses You Off About White People" and a white person comes in the fourm and cries racism every day. I still say that blacks cannot be racist. You don't know any black person that had attributed to the downfall of any whites.

Regarding changing the status quo, I beg to differ.Most are too comfortable benefitting from white privilege.
There are a LOT who benefit and never, ever question that privilege. You're right. A LOT of them are on this website too, lol. But not everyone here is like that, and not all are like that.

I guess you just have to have some sort of faith in the best of humanity, or that there is a best of humanity, and that things will change. Look how far we have come in a generation, black and white, in our attitudes and the ways we interact. Twenty years ago, we would not be having a conversation like this, or learning about one another because a lot of attitudes that we are challenging were taken for granted.
