ok - but is racism a problem for whites?
i mean - not really. not for a few decades yet. or maybe now in parts of south africa.
eliminating racism - ok - but in practice this often turns out to be white people taking the blame for everything bad that happens to black people, and white people being addressed as both the cause of the evil and the same person that has to stop it.
this doesn't really get any of the non white races equality. i mean, is there an END GAME for anti racist struggles or does it just go on forever? does it have distinctive goals that it wants to achieve that would accomplish its mission? if not then its interminable and i think that that is beneficial to white people who have a kind of secular fantasy of themselves as the redeemers of the minorities through their tolerance and liberal democratic inclusion.
im more pessimistic than you. i think that whatever race is in the majority and in control of the resources and power structure is the one that doesnt suffer from racism and its the others that do. i think no matter what colour of skin is involved that will not change.
however i could be totally wrong. i'd like to be wrong and for there to be some sort of TRUE post racial social order.
