    And what if the white people have all the money and all the best schools? How do you want to get past racism then?

      We can only build an egalitarian society on the ashes of the old.

      Equity is a necessary evil only so long as we keep the current underlying power structures of capitalism.

      Certain german guy said the same, except he used “jews” instead of “white people”.

      Stop thinking like him.

            Pointing out the effects of systemic racism. Is not racism. But a strawman is a strawman.

            White people have it good. Equality feels like oppression when you’re privileged.

            You seem to misunderstand.

            Prejudice exists throughout all people and cultures.

            White Supremacy is a focused method of prejudice.

            Racism is a tool of white supremacy.

            Racism towards Jews, PoC, indigenous, etc. has created societal disparities.

            White people are not victims of those societal disparities, and cannot be a target of racism, because again, racism is a specific tool of white supremacy.

            You’re thinking of prejudice, which will never go away.

            But racism can go away.
