And yes, I do believe that most societies in this day and age show favoritism towards a majority. Especially in a country with as much racial tension as this one.

That's not a good reason to be convinced.. You've experienced less than 1% of the total experience and are making a decision. This line of thinking is the same reason white people use to justify racism after a few bad run ins with black people. Anecdotes are useless until you have enough of them to show something, which makes them statistics.

And here in lies the problem. Certainly white privilege is not holding them down, so what is? And why can't the same things be holding black people down without having some dialogue about white privilege? Perhaps they just made bad decisions.

Oriphice has spoke. RIP NJ whitetrash.

I am Oriphice no more. Behold Oriphallus. It's been a long and hard quest, but I've finally reached the climax of my Ori journey, and now truth shall spurt forth from me and disseminate across the world.

I never said that. Stop making stuff up.

I don't really give a fuck about this argument either way, but I've gotta say...

I'm white, and I've been followed around stores plenty of times. One of the curses of looking like a crack addict.

A security guy once even stepped right in front of me and tried to grill me, and I just kinda ignored him, 'cause fuck that. Had enough of that shit back in high school.

It happens to lots of people.

Can't believe Lucem is actually using this as an example.
