You'll get your check when white people have been treated by the majority the way white people have treated minorities for the same length of time. Not one minute before.

Now get your thumb out of your mouth and get a job.

Until we rid our nation of preferential treatment and government programs like "Affirmative Action" we will be a Nation of racist policy.

I'd have thought my use of the word 'whitey' would have given away that I was meeting your humour with my own. The :p should have clued you in otherwise.

Racism is alive and well today. It has a bright future too, because thinking is hard. Lots of people would prefer a simple wrong explanation because it's easier (to put on a bumper sticker) than a complex correct understanding because it's harder (to convey during a commercial break). Intolerance is rooted in laziness and fear, both of which are abundant and self-renewing; they are everlasting. Intolerance based on skin color is just one kind, an easy kind of intolerance. One that can be exercised at a distance.

Such rigid and simple discrimination may have been useful at one time when tribal conflict had mortal stakes, but it is completely maladaptive now. Absent knowledge of skin color, there are not many distinguishing characteristics that can be known that matter.

If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
Hate begets hate. Laziness begets laziness. We share our humanity regardless of such trivialities as skin color. But we are easily distracted by what is apparent from what is important.

This. Well, that and it's easier to blame someone else for your problems.
