That's one of the funny things about white privilege..it's easy not to notice it, being white and all. Cops are friendly, pawn shop owners are welcoming, nobody gets shifty when I have a gun in my hands. Just business as usual....or is it?

What does that have to do with white privilege?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Affirmative Action.
Affirmative action isn't a "reward" for past offenses. It's a protection against current ones, which you clearly don't understand.

Why should "we", reference any colour when most, if not all of us have subscribed to Darwins theory of there being only one race, and not 6 or 8, just as Carl Linnaeus proposed?
