Not talking about racism won't fix the issue.

Yeah, I'm in before my fellow white people pull the "WELL I HAVE A BLACK FRIEND AND I THINK YOU'RE WRONG" or something similar. I am well aware I have privilege when it comes to my skin color and denial is overwhelming among white people. That is all I will say to that at the moment. Now it's popcorn time, this thread should be fun to watch.

The most racist people are old people, we need a cull.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Actually, colorblindness is the solution. Blacks need to stop playing the victim card.

...unless they are actually victims of direct racism or are put at a disadvantage as a result of institutionalised racism (e.g. white privilege).

I always find the 'you're playing the victim card' to be quite a cop-out to an actual argument.

'You're playing the vicitm card' is itself a card.

I don't have a problem with people playing the cards they've been dealt.
