Don't just say "HERE IS A VIDEO I LIKE"

Self abuse is CrackWhore's specialty.

I posted, "Matthew Modine explains it (white privilege) better than I ever could. 

So, while I appreciate your candor, I'm still going to leave it up to Mr. Modine to explain it "better than I can"

Right... but why do you like it ?  What about this makes a new take on a familiar conversation ?

It's a discussion forum after all

That's fair.,

Matthew and I, basically, had the same visceral reaction the first time we were told we enjoyed white privilege. I literally told my associate "f__k you, you don't know me".... It wasn't till after I started to really think about it, that I started to realize the, at times subtle, ways I had benefited from white privilege. 

For example: I'd been pulled over on occasion with black friends in the car. The difference in how police showed me respect, and the way they "handled" my black friends, was surprising to me. Just as Matthews experience with his black friend telling him he couldn't drive Matthews wife's car because the cops would pull him out and beat his ass. 

Now granted, these experiences are all anecdotal, but mountains of empirical evidence is available on the web. Peer reviewed evidence that supports my contention that systemic racism does exist. And, not only does it exist, it exists in multiple arenas.

I've tried to give certain people the benefit of the doubt by assuming they just don't realize how subtle systemic racism can be. But I've come to understand that a lot of white folks simply cannot admit that they've benefited in any way from their skin color.
