Not only does racism have something to do with it, it is all it is. Exposing racism is not the same as racism. Exposing privilege is not an attack on hard working white people. Privilege is not individual racism. It is systemic racism. That anyone in this country believes that it doesn’t exist is the problem. The solution is not for negroes to be quiet about it, as you may wish. The solution is to eliminate it.[/quote]

What is a reasonable solution to eliminate it. Offer one up. There is some level of racism that exists in the country, but I don’t see how the privileged white person is going to walk into the minority community and just fix it for them. We’ve had at least a generation of affirmative action, welfare and anti-discrimination laws, in an effort to give them a hand up and it apparently hasn’t amounted to much since there’s still so much racism in this country. The minority community needs to do some really hard work to modify it’s culture and it’s priorities because “Thug Life” is never going to mesh business culture.

Certainly you need to improve the relationship between cops and minorities. Certainly you probably need to examine various drug laws and imprisonment associated with them. Put a highly educated excellent teacher in a room full of minorities and they don’t respect them because they ain’t from the hood. Who’s responsible for that problem.

Has anybody in the minority communities offered up real concrete minor things that would help them. The college protesters have called for banning offensive speech (who cares about the first amendment), special minority only spaces (gee lets just go back to segregation guys), and more departments/administrative staff dedicated to cultural diversity (college doesn’t cost enough already, although it’s probably a promotion opportunity for minority professors). Most of that sounds like they want to live in their own little bubble.
