    I notice that you didn't say you believe Blacks and Whites should be equal.
    That tells me a lot.

    "Everyone should do their best" is NOT the same as saying "I believe Blacks and Whites should be equal".
    It's hard to think in terms of equality when you want Whites to come out ahead. If Affirmative Action could be cancelled, we know there would be no equality between the races, right?

    Tells you what? Because you’ve spent the better part of your time on here arguing that white people today should NOT be equal with blacks because of the discrimination from other white people years ago.

    You don’t believe whites and blacks should be equal either.

    You believe that whites should be discriminated against in their personal lives, their business and politics.

    As you said, white people should have to deal with discrimination for as long as blacks had to.

    Hypocrisy isn’t not a very becoming trait

    Equality based on race is stupid. It is saying folks deserve to be treated a certain way according to skin color. Really? Isn't that racism?

    I do believe Whites and Blacks should be equal. Sadly, many Whites don't feel that way.
    "To people who are accustomed to having 100%, 98% feels like oppression".

    No you don’t. You EXPLICITLY said that whites should have to feel discrimination for as long as blacks have had to. Don’t sit here and pretend like you didn’t.

    Affirmative Action is NOT discrimination against Whites. I said Affirmative Action should last as long as oppression against Blacks lasted---or something to that effect.

    So if we had a program that gave underqualified whites advantage over qualified blacks when trying to get a job or into school for the SOLE fact their skin is white would not be discrimination against blacks?

    That’s bs and you know it

    What special favors do you think white people get? I don’t get any, o extra help, no inherited money, nothing. I’ve known lots of black people much better off than I am. How is that possible?

    No, it's not racism. It's equality.

    You just described what Blacks lived with for hundreds of years. Thank you for explaining it so well.

    So you WILLFULLY acknowledge it was wrong to do it to black people so now you think it’s okay to do it to white people who had NOTHING to do with that previous discrimination simply because they share the same white skin colors as those in the past?

    WHITE PRIVILEGE: Inherent advantages possessed by White people on the basis of their race in a society characterized by racial INEQUALITY AND INJUSTICE.

    I’m pretty sure he’s meaning examples. Not more existential ideas

    If it was wrong, why did Whites do it to Black people?

    White privilege doesn't mean you will have no problems. It just means none of your problems will be because of your skin color.

    I don’t know you’d have to ask them but the vast majority of them are dead and have been for decades.

    But it was wrong and shouldn’t have happened which is why we ended it. Now why do you think it should be brought back?

    Not ending up dead if you stopped by the police is one advantage.

    You mean except trying to get a job or get into college, trying to get business as a white contractor, trying to get investments as a white business owner or accessing any of the BILLIONS of dollars of taxpayer money that WE paid for which is earmarked specifically for minorities.

    Are you serious right now?

    It was wrong, so Affirmative Action is needed to correct the past. See. It's simple. :)

    Except more whites are killed by police. And in fact only 9 unarmed black people last year died from police interactions. Out of a population of close to 50 million. And iN nearly every one of those interactions they resisted arrest.

    Don’t resist arrest and you’re more likely to get run over by an elephant than killed by a cop.
