Ok so my fundamental hypothesis ill prove is this. Black people, white people, or any other shade/race of people all have about the same prevalence of tending towards racist thought. In other words ALL races are equally guilty of racism. BUT there is a catch to what that means...

In the USA Africans are 11% - 13% of the population whites are around 60% - 70% as I recall. What that means is as a black person in america you are usually out numbered by about 6x by the white people in any one room. So even if 10% of white people are racist and 10% of black people are racist in such a scenario the black person is getting dicked over by a larger percentage of the overall crowd than the white people are.

So this creates a situation where you can say there is a sort of "white privilage" what we are really describing though is that the majority in any situation when it comes to prejudice will always have the advantage. That is true.

BUT it also means that we need to realize EVERYONE is equally guilty of racism, a black person to white and a white to black. As such it isnt a white problem to eliminate racism its something we ALL need to strive to do within our own races. We cant yell and scream at whites telling them not to be racist meanwhile blacks are equally as racist just less effective at executing it for aforementioned reasons.
