Very good comment.  Whites won't ever get their position of ascension in the US until they face the fact they enjoy what they enjoy because we exploited white proclaimed 'inferior' races, and then moved on to include property entitled whites proclaiming other white cultures inferior.

I've been watching the Harvey coverage very closely to see one white person in need of rescue turning down a black or brown rescuer, just as I've been watching for the opposite.  When it's life and death bigotry doesn't matter.  When it's life or death in the military no one cares who is GLBT or black or brown or Muslim, or male or female.  All the 'isms' and 'phobias' are the products of the luxury of tribal safety.  Take that safety away and all the propensity to 'other' is gone.  That's where we need to start the conversation.
