Things are just not fair!
It's amazing what humans have achieve. We went from hunters and gatherers to sending a man on the moon. But we seem not able to have answer for issues such as racism? Are we ever going to be able to fix this problem? I think to answer this we have to keep in mind that our whole existence is based on things being different and not always being equal. One characteristic we possess that is really hurting our society is the ability to distinguish and greed. By distinguish things we usually place values on them which leads to greed and that leads to creating conflict. Acting on conflict does resolve things, it just leads to us going back to where we started. Monarchy and democracy are pretty much the same thing. They only differ in the sense that in democracy the public has at least some kind of power than in monarchy but one man still has control. The same thing goes for slavery and white privileged. I think they're pretty much the same things. the only difference is that today we don't the direct oppression of black people. Black people have physical freedom but their social freedom is limited. I don't blame white people for being privileged and I don't think anyone should. They weren't the cause for it. They just happened to be born black just like Blacks, Asians, and Latinos happened to be what they are. White people should be willing to give up some of their powers on their own will. Because forcing them to give it up just won't work it'll lead to another form of control. Instead of blaming, we should make white people realize.
