I can't keep quiet about this one guys. If you are fed up, or sick of all this "race stuff", please know that you are exercising your white privilege right now.
People of color don't get the opportunity or privilege to ignore "race stuff". They have to live it every day. It has never been scary to live in the states as a white person. They have had the upper hand always. People of color however, don't have to look back too far in history to see that fear. And many still live it today.
And if this comment bothers you, you've got some mighty fine white fragility going on.

@SW-User to assume others have some sort of privilege just because of their skin colour is just silly. You don't know what anyone has gone through in their lives or know how easy they have things or how bad things are for them. Assuming privilege due to skin colour alone is a insult

@SW-User or maybe you have white guilt or perhaps a victim complex and that's why you propose it. I could just make up anything, like if you reply you're an idiot but if you don't reply you're a fake hur hur hur

Lmao. As if making generalized statements about specific races is NOT inherently racist. Smdh.
Racism will stop only when people stop making characterizations about race.

@SW-User That's ignorant as fuck. A shit ton of white people are born into poverty. EVERYONE IN AMERICA IS GIVEN THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES! STOP BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES! NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU FROM ACHEIVING THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS EVERY OTHER AMERICAN! WHITE PRIVILEGE IS A MADE UP CONCEPT TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO IGNORANT AND LAZY TO WORK TOWARDS OPPORTUNITY AND USE THE SAME PRIVILAGE AS EVERYONE ELSE.
Stop making excuses!
Stop making excuses!

Lack of discrimination shouldn't be seen as a privilege. It's the default, it's the right. We should want people to have that right. They don't need to give it up so the minority achieves equality. Which means guilt tripping any group strictly for the color of their skin would be useless.
More than that, this doesn't reflect the complex reality of the situation in the US. I have seen racism from both sides. Lot of Africans, out of ignorance, are unable to understand I am an African, of a much ancient ethnic group and culture. A mother of an ex-friend of mine always hinted to me being descendant of colonialists.
I think the question itself is senseless.
