    @dissentingRabbit that's the opposite of his position. He's positing that heritage (ethnicity) DOES matter. And how is it a double standard to speak to his own people about their own experience? A double standard is when you project truths or rules on others which you don't apply to yourself. Also the opposite of what he's doing.

    The 15 minutes is also an important point...of the chain of privilege.

    If you listened to the clip, you'd know why. Tim talks a lot at the beginning, so skip ahead to about the 15 minute mark, and listen (then, go back a few minutes, where he talks about guilt VS responsibility).

    What will not be given must be taken...in a peaceful manner. My People (Moorish Americans) do not need an opportunity, we need access to resources. We don't need a mortgage, we need land. We don't need jobs, we need cash crops. We don't need benefits, we need empowerment. Most importantly, we need to be left alone. Once all of the above stated has been achieved, my People will be just fine.

    Why waste time dwelling on "privilege?" Why enable black victimization? Look, no sane person will doubt this country's sorry past with respect to race. Nor will anyone doubt that much of what exists today is the product of our racist past. But if you think that white people--including those who "benefit" from our racist past--will willingly step aside for past victims, you are sorely mistaken. Empower and enable people of ALL races. Instill confidence. Encourage excellence.

    If these systems of inequalities only exsist to divide and conquer why are we so slow to change?

    Why do I have to care about non-Whites? Why do I have to like non-Whites? Why do I have to support non-Whites? Since Whites are only 8% of a planet of 7 billion, who supports the White race?
