[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4833218, member: 63706"] I don't. I just know it's not everywhere I look. It's just like ricky with his definition of socialism. That word you keep using. I don't think it means what you think it means. That's how you see it. "Do better" is a meaningless term. If you have stuff to work on, go for it. I fully support you taking personal responsibility for your failings. I do not accept your idea of collective guilt, particularly when I have never been on the receiving end of this mythical white privilege that I'm supposed to have. I have my own responsibilities I need to attend to, I have my own debts to pay. You feel guilty for stuff you didn't do? Feel free to take as much on yourself as you think you can bear. It's not your place to tell others they must bear those burdens. To move forward, and to solve a problem, you must accurately define the problem. "White people evil racists" is not the problem, or at very least, not nearly the problem you think it is. What amount of reparations or expressions of white guilt do you think will be the right amount to be able to "move past" these "crazy times"? I'm sorry, that's just not how it works. [/QUOTE]
