Who has historically held more wealth in this country? Generally speaking, the people with wealth are the job creators. You will tend to gravitate towards people who you share things in common with. Whitey has that built in advantage (it is getting better, but to pretend that it isn't simply isn't true). My office has 3 white females, 1 female of foreign descent and the rest white males. Maybe a coincidence, but it isn't as uncommon as you might think.

It's not a coincidence that Asians, statistically hold higher averages of income over whites.

It's simple: You have MONEY (majority), you have POWER.

It's not: You have SKIN COLOR you have POWER.

Have we found the catalyst?

So, in the MS Delta, do I have white privilege?

I watch the local news, with their black anchors.

I report a burglary and it takes the police 6 hours to show up to my house.

And the chief of police literally called me a racist and klan member for asking him to do something about our former neighbor's pittbull who tore my uncle's leg apart. The neighbor wasn't even black but he assumed he was.

eta: That wasn't directed at you, Eddie but rather the thread as a whole.
