but I don't think saying white people have an advantage is putting the blame on us.

That's what the entire concept of white privilege is though.

The US used to use the melting pot metaphor which supported assimilation and a homogenous culture where everyone culminated their cultural values into one big group. That's why stuff like pizza and hamburgers and apple pie are seen as American food rather than Italian, German, or British.

Back then, the US was still segregated so American culture never assimilated black people and they've always been treated as cultural outsiders. Same with Latinos, Asians, Jewish people, etc.

In the 60s, the US had the civil rights movement develop as a result of social inequality and especially black Americans being treated as second class which led to desegregation laws.

Civil rights are the rights every civilian has, rich or poor, black or white, you name it. MLK was technically an individualist because he was pro assimilation where black & white cultures blend. Guys like Malcolm X on the other hand were black nationalists and wanted black people to stay away from white people.

In the 70s, social attitudes were more geared towards being colorblind and people just being individuals and just to be cool to everyone cause you're all Americans and people have different cultural habits, no big deal.

In the 80s, the social scientists introduced multiculturalism and political correctness which made people's cultural differences a big deal and forced people to see others as parts of different groups and then basically pre judge them, ignore their individuality, and dump all the bullshit politics on them.

The only reason multiculturalism exists is to culturally segregate minorities and use them as perpetual non assimilating victim classes. That's why stuff like Caitlyn Jenner is treated like a hero for being some kind of icon for transgender people and turning them into another group of people who need to be protected, usually by young people who get taught that they need to be PC and support 'the lesser classes'. It's so fucking patronizing.

Universities nowadays all teach culture studies courses and they've basically legitimatized racism by forcing people to believe their crap notions on how people are supposed to think and interact.

You look up the history of race wars in the US and they're all caused by the same thing. Black people being poor and segregated and stuck in shitty environments. It's been going on for decades.

Back in the 80s, bands like NWA and Public Enemy were talking about this stuff and all that happened is that the corporate media industry turned around and repackaged their 'attitude' and turned it into the gangster image which turned out to be extremely popular over the last 25 years with white consumers while convincing young black people to buy into a host of anti-social and negative values that just often winds them up in jail or doing petty crime and shit.

Then you got to consider the prison industry and the war on drugs and the amount of money generated by politicians giving cushy contracts to big companies to watch all these 'criminals' who are just a product of their environment due to multiculturalism and rich assholes pushing political correctness.

I refuse to take the blame for any of that.
