BTW, racism was the organizing principle of the making of the nation. The southern colonies would never have joined the revolution with out white supremacy as an organizing principle. The original Constitution was all about what rich white men could do that everyone else was not allowed to do. White folks are beneficiaries of white racism. Your denial just shows how comfortable you are with the benefits your white skin gives. The denial of the roll of white racism in every aspect of this country is itself, a white privilege. I know most of you can't handle the truth about yourselves much less the rest of us. White people invented the race card when the built the nation on ethnic cleansing and race based slavery that included rape as a profit center. This country has been a giant affirmative action program for people that Europe didn't need or want. We have been working on becoming a more perfect union ever since.
