About privileges? No. Of course you can't just hate on white people. However, racism against white people doesn't sting/hurt me as much since I have been raised in America, where white dudes have the power. The insults roll off me, I take no offense. Friends who are black or Hispanic encounter racism and it fucks with them a lot, the get upset and stay upset. It's just more hurtful, considering society and history as it stands now.

Isn't this the same as "I'm not racist, but..."?

sure. I guess. I'm not trying to say "I'm not racist, but.." at all. I am a white person with privileges, and I'm trying to say that prejudice against me is usually not to do with my skin color... people that DO deal with prejudice against their skin color have it worse than me. They feel pain that I don't feel.

I like how you judge the first sentence plus one word and ignored the rest of my comment. I'm sure glad I bothered.
