I apologize for the misunderstanding; I did not think you were calling me a racist. I was trying to say that I equate the term "white privilege" with "racist" and all the other terminology that is supposed to make Caucasians apologetic for being themselves. I see no point in labeling people; there have always been the haves and the have-nots; some people have a harsh life and struggle from birth to death no matter what color they are. We need to stop labeling individuals and try to make this world a better place for ALL. All lives matter.I was looking it up for myself because I wanted to see if I was misapplying it. I do not think I did and wanted to share the definition I used for that contention.
I think that a problem needs to be well defined before it can be addressed. I find that privilege is one problem that we need to define to address it to create a more fair and equitable society.
Do you agree that as a society the US in general does not view black people as positively as it does white people?
I apologize if something I wrote made you think that I was calling you a racist. If you can tell me what I wrote that made you think that I'll make sure I don't do something similar in the future. I do not think that you are a racist.
I still do contend that although being white does not make someone privileged, being white does give one a privilege in our US society that is not afforded blacks. There may be areas of the country where such a privilege does not exist and whites and blacks are viewed equally by the society of that area in general. However I am not aware of any such places and would love to learn about them if you know of any.
I see this as a problem and therefore don't think it's just a label. To me it isn't so much a term to divide people as it is a way to frame a division that already exists that we should work on so that it goes away in the future.
So how do you propose to remedy your white guilt? And what is your solution to the perceived inequity in society?
