why are you so racist

Re: I have a question for white people:
Hundreds of years of privilege have conditioned white people to subconsciously assume they are superior and deserving. Even if they don't think they benefit from such privilege (or worse, deny its existence), what are they to do about it? You'll be hard-pressed to find an educated heterosexual white male turn down a job offer on such a principle, or just plain not look for a job because of the fact that he has a better chance of getting it than anyone else. Privilege is something worth acknowledging, but what is one to do about it?
The agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been.

As a member of the two most privileged races...I can confidently tell you the answer:
Nothing.
Well, they might have 99 problems...but making minorities their b**** ain't one.
Re: I have a question for white people:
I am quoting Aamer Rahman.
I feel that way whenever I see whites acting like horses with horse tacks. Horses with a butterfly's spirit. White people are horses that like to pretend they are butterflies with horse tacks.
Now call me racist. CALL ME RACIST. I DARE YOU, NO I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!

Horses are nice. I take no offense to whites being called horses. Now if you'd have said mule...

I'd call you a racist, but I don't think they're a reliable mode of safe transportation.

Re: I have a question for white people:
What's your problem with mules? Mules are like minorities for the equestrian race.
If that's a thing. I don't know horses.

Re: I have a question for white people:
It depends on what power you have and where; e.g. a white HR manager could be aware that they might be subconsciously favoring white job applicants, and find ways to be more objective about it (e.g. by not requiring a photograph, or judging applicants without their name attached).Privilege is something worth acknowledging, but what is one to do about it?
Or for regular white people - being aware of privilege helps one not be unintentionally racist.

Re: I have a question for white people:
What's my problem?
Given: a = b
ab = b^2
ab - a^2 = b^2 - a^2
a(b - a) = (b + a)(b - a)
a = b + a
a = a + a
a = 2a
1 = 2
Given: a = b
ab = b^2
ab - a^2 = b^2 - a^2
a(b - a) = (b + a)(b - a)
a = b + a
a = a + a
a = 2a
1 = 2

I do see two other mathematical fallacies in there.

I'm not that geeky. I at first couldn't figure out how you were dividing by zero and edited that part out of my message.Pope Bucky wrote:Guess we know who the math geeks are.
