Interesting thing about race relations. Racism is not dependent on you noticing.

Fun fact, in 1967 a poll was done that found that over 50% of white Americans believed whites and blacks had achieved racial equality in the US. So that means when Dr. King gave his "I have a dream " speech, more than half of all whites were standing around confused about what black people were upset about.

White privilege is not dependent on you noticing it.

Good point. It goes to show how privilege, and undoubtedly some level of bigotry, clouds one's vision on the topic. It's crazy how so many white people thought blacks had achieved equality in 1967

@deadgerbil Very true. Apparently at least a part of it was people thinking the civil rights act of 64 magically fixed everything.
