I have, many times. Both when I was still Jewish and later when I became an atheist.
Lucky for you, I say. But that doesn't diminish what others experience. Try to think about others besides yourself.
If two kids were to pursue the same path with the same resources, the black kid is more likely come across obstacles than the white kid. It sucks, and we need to do as much as we can to remove those obstacles, but that's unfortunately how it is, even 50 years after civil rights movements.
Because they don't. The system is already sort of fixed in favor of the straight, white, wealthy male.
Generally, a white person can willingly put themselves in a situation where they are victims of racial discrimination, but they can also willingly remove themselves from that. I don't fault them for that, nor blame them, that's sort of where "white guilt" comes from, which is something that's been fabricated by the left to deal with racism. However, I think it's important that white people understand that they have a certain privilege that other groups of people do not.
I haven't come across a situation in which a white person experiences racism for their entire life the way a black person might, can you give me an example so I understand?
Sarcasm does not work well on the interwebs I see.
You sound like such a racist.
White people in Ireland were being persecuted by members of different race?
Well I was hoping to get an example that encompasses a larger area and certainly a longer time than that. I'm not so sure that compares to centuries of slavery and racial oppression worldwide.No, but psychologically it is the same thing. The Catholics are a repressed minority and experience or did experience much the same discrimination as blacks. It would have been a very relevant example. Granted one of the few, but a good one.
He likely does.Why can't you say the same thing but take out the white part?
Does a wealthy black male have less opportunity than a wealthy white male?
Good point.I'm a White guy who has lived and worked in countries where I was in the steep minority but have never felt less than normal. Why should I? Even when I was treated differently that was up to the other person to feel that way, not me. There are ignorant people everywhere and if we are going to base are lives on what ignorant people think or say we'll never get any rest.
And some minorities like Vietnamese boat people come here and seem to be able to assimulate and build new lives from nothing.

'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains why he is sensitive about being African American
And there you have it. The leftwing hero is a bonafide modern day racist.
Rather than call him racists, why not just say that he suffers from "white envy"..
Tim-
It's doubtful you'd let a white person be that sensitive. If you wouldn't, then he's racist.
Is it the consensus then that Black men suffer from White Envy and White men suffer from Penis Envy?
Me too..I wouldn't know about penis envy, I'm quite cumfortable in that regard.
Tim-
Me too..
Im comfortably hung like a tic tac.

I don't think that he's racist. Rather, I think that he is hypersensitive to how others see him in regards to race.
Remember, he's an actor, and while individual actors, directors, and producers may be racially enlightened, Hollywood as a whole still has problems in regards to race.
Especially when minority actors can get only certain kinds of roles, not necessarily because of the prejudices of Hollywood but rather the prejudices Hollywood thinks the rest of the country still has.
So no, I don't think he's racist at all.
He's just another up tight black dude looking for something complain about. The sooner we learn to ignore these clowns vice enabling their behavior the better off everyone will be.
Don't you think that black people have created their own culture..e.g. Smack my bitch up..Gangsta's...Rappers who are worshipped because they have been shot/stabbed/killed...
Is this all they can aspire to??
In a thread calling a black guy a racist then saying this sweeping generalization about all blacks... holy hell this is ... weird.
"Racism" is inherent and part of the evolutionary process in which beneficial traits are preserved within a variety.
Google "racism in infants" for a shot of reality.
I think part of the problem in this thread is people misunderstand. Institutionalized racism is not so much a problem anymore. In fact I can go out on a limb here and say it is for the most part a non issue. However our society has a huge problem with racism on an individual level. This is the problem we are seeing more of today from every racial designation.
The media in all it's forms is a huge part of the problem. We have access to information instantly. Faster than any time before in human history. It makes things look much darker than they actually are. Many other reasons play into this as well. The aforementioned is just one example.
It seems to me as we advance in technology and continue to accelerate, we as a people seem to revert back to tight nit social constructs such as race for safety and security.
This is just my hypothesis, but I have a feeling it is probably not far from the truth.
Sorry for re-posting this. I want to see some reply's dammit.
All I can give you is a "Like" as I agree, and have been saying similar stuff for a while.
Only when I say it..... Im a racism apologist..... and a closet racist...
Thats because I am white.
