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?

Gee. I wonder what would have happened to a black guy who did this.... assuming the cops even bothered to take him alive?

Quote:Sarah Palin’s son accepts plea deal after charges of punching his girlfriend in the face dropped
Quote:According to court records, prosecutors dropped two of three misdemeanor charges filed against Palin, including domestic-violence assault and interfering with the reporting of a domestic-violence crime.
“As a condition of his entry into that court the state dismissed the first two counts,” Palin’s attorney, Kevin Fitzgerald, said. “Track pled to misconduct involving weapons (in the fourth degree), concerning being under the influence and having a firearm.”
As part of his plea agreement, Palin must enter an “alcohol-related” treatment program with the weapons charge expunged from his record should he successfully complete it. Failure to complete the program will result in a 180-day suspended jail sentence and two years of informal probation.
I'm sure Reynaldo or Jawann would have gotten the exact same treatment!

Why not Siddarth, why not Choi-Hing suk, why not Tadashi, why not Cheng?
Again, the colour of someones skin shouldn't be relevant if we all think that evolution is the key to our existence, and not religious texts.
