It doesn't matter if you're black or white...or does it?

I think that white privilege definitely exists, and that it's pretty evident. Considering that the white man came over from Europe, claimed his land, fought numerous groups of people over it, and then made some laws to make sure it stayed that way, you'd better believe those laws were biased to whites specifically, and of course, as we've stated, to men in particular. The same laws that have given privilege to men also exist to make sure that it was the white man receiving those privileges, which is the very same reason that pretty much anyone that isn't a white man in America has had a heck of a time trying to be seen as an equal human being. Luckily the white men that wrote the laws left some loop holes that have allowed others to step back and reconsider what "All men are created equal" is supposed to mean and therefore question the American ideal freedom for all. Even though America has come such a long way there is still the underlying greed that has grown from having those privileges that some white men and even women now, do not want to give up, even if it is the fair thing to do. There have been so many lives that have been tormented from racism that time cannot take their pain away, and then it is passed down from generation to generation. It seems that their is so much hatred built up in people that they look only at color and forget that each person is totally different and has feelings that don't deserve to be hurt over something that happened in the past. I think that the younger generations are becoming better at looking past color and I can only hope that it will continue. For the mean time I agree that we should call out those that don't want change only for their own sake, never thinking of others. Always questioning society and aiming for the greater good of human kind, which I believe will lead to the greater good of America is a goal worth fighting for!
