Jeff AKA Snoopy 11/06/19 4:27:56 PM #1:	It is ignorant to refuse to understand/believe that you benefit from the systemic racism that being part of the majority does provide. I'm a white middle aged (35) male. I have systemic advantages due to this. It is through no fault of my own, but to deny this is ludicrous and denying this is akin to denying climate change, IMO. --- https://i.imgtc.com/oKFWxht.jpg https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:929764215] in There is n...
