"Having been raised to believe in their own entitlement, white people are also taught to fear those of us here to “take it away.” "

What a patently racist, hateful statement.

What "entitlement" would that entail, Denise?  The "entitlement" of being discriminated against - legally, and with the government's encouragement - in employment matters?  The "entitlement" of having any and every aspect of your history be deemed "racist" and shameful by those whose ancestors weren't here at the time, did nothing to build the country, and who only arrived once a cradle-to-grave social welfare system was already in place?  The "entitlement" of having all of history's negatives - but none of its positives - being attributed to your race?  The "entitlement" of the racist double-standards regularly espoused by Globe writers such as you?

P.S.  In Europe, the indigenous people happen to be white.
