28. brown skinned people don't have the power that whites enjoy
Edited on Thu Jun-21-07 01:32 PM by datasuspect
they don't have the cultural privileges that accrue to whites rather easily.

if a person cannot see this, they are being purposely obtuse.

in other words, sure dark skinned people can be racists but unless you have the POWER it doesn't have as significant an impact as racism backed up by law, social policy, and general cultural understanding.

what anti-mexican people fail to realize: in the global economy and in this country, the average middle class person has more in common with the undocumented migrant than they do with the corporate and political warlords who enslave them.

have you hugged an undocumented migrant today?
