eduardo bonilla-silva exposes stuff that many white people themselves are not even aware of and are afraid to admit.

Wowww will you all just show some class and listen to what this beaner has to say?!?!!

A lot of the critics on here seem to be propagating the myth of an American meritocracy. They seem to think their grandparents simply pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and that access and opportunity has been available to everyone. Nobody is "whining" about slavery. If you knew your history you would know that people of color were robbed outright of the opportunities that MADE the middle class. Where are only talking 60 something years here. Anyone got an idea what I am referring to?

@dutytocareforothers Making up excuses to not like you, hmm sounds like what this guy is doing. No one is racist now, so they have no one to blame for thier circumstances, so now they have to make up racism from literally nothing, from thin air, to continue to enjoy avoiding being responsible for themselves. To continue to have a reason to hate white people. Something has to give, they need to either shut up about racism and move on with life, or start a race war and end this dumb non issue.

[whymewhyherewhynow]

Because, either way, let's settle this so you and all the other whiners, complainers, excuse-makers, and anyone else who wants to pass along the responsibility for thier lives and circumstances onto someone else.... Let us END that useless and fruitless bitching about racism, and get onto more important things like the fact that all of our jobs are in India and China right now, that our children's education is severely inadequate, and our government is now a corporate oligarchy.

You keep refering to white people as neonazi's or archie bunkers, when that is BULLSHIT, most white people are middle class families struggling to pay for food and electricity and don't have time or energy to give a crap about other races. So you want either one of two things... you want white people to LIKE people because of thier skin color and basically changes thier thoughts, opinions, and who they are. OR you want an all out race war against white people. Which is it?

[whymewhyherewhynow]

Ok so what is the point of your argument? That everyone has a right to be proud of thier racial and/or cultural ancestry EXCEPT for "white" people? What does it mean to be racist? Or white supremacist? I don't think ANYONE is any better than ANYONE, yet I EXPECT equal treatment for ALL including white people. What is it that you want? You want white people to LOVE or LIKE other races, just because of thier skin color? How is that any better than hating them only because of skin color?

[whymewhyherewhynow]

And what "whites" do you mean? Scotch? Irish? In case you forgot, those whites were also tribes who were crushed by the Roman Empire and its disgusting Catholic faith and later, by the discpicable English. Think the Irish has an easy time in the great influx of LEGAL immigrants to the United States? People should be judged by the content of thier character, and having dark skin shouldn't give you a free pass to have poor character attributes.

[whymewhyherewhynow]

Stop looking for excuses as to why life sucks for you. You can't control other people's thoughts or feelings. So fine, let's say white people don't like blacks or Mexicans or whatever. So what? You can't make them like you. Get over it! There is a black President, your slave guilt check has been cashed! It's over, no more excuses to be rude jerks to white people, to call whites by racial slurs, to claim whites are the ruin of the world. The damn Roman Catholics are, not "whites".
