You believe racism to be an aspect of human nature, and I assume you are human. Therefore, you are admitting to being a racist.
All I did in this thread was point out Jaskalas' inanity. He was concerned that white men are being looked at negatively by the world. I sarcastically alluded to the privilege that is inherent to being a white man, and the relative power you have on the world. I fail to see the racism in that.
This bolded comment pretty much describes every post you ever make on race issues in this forum.
Be honest. You harbor resentment towards white people. No matter how hard a white person struggles, no matter how poor they grew up and the challenges they face, to you they will always be a trust-fund silver-spoon suburbanite.
Was it your parents that instilled this belief in you? I find that parents have a profound affect on if you turn out racist or not.
With these kind of beliefs, I think we all have to take you as seriously as a white supremesist on all matters of race. You are so blinded by your feelings of discrimination and racism, that you have made yourself 10X more racist than those you despise.
And no, I dont think you can throw money at people and make them not racist/prejudice. It takes education and assimilation to cure xenophobia. Even with unlimited resources, this could not be done.
