gary, the first thing white folks need to do is be honest with themselves about American history. If they knew their history, they would know that all white people still benefit from white racism. You don't have to ask for the privilege. It is given to you for free at birth. The average white person denies this simple truth. The race problem was created by white people when they decided that being white is more important than being human or an American. To put it another way, white folks need to decide that all lives matter. Their behavior shows they don't value all lives. This situation leaves minorities with one choice, survive by any means necessary. We have been willing to work for justice for 300 years. White folks are the ones refusing justice for all. Heck, the GOP is a white identity party in the 21st century. Admit the simple fact that racism has always been at the root of our social problems. Only white people in denial and the mentally ill don't understand this simple truth.
