zbird, so what? We are talking about specific policies of discrimination. It doesn't eliminate the fact that there are such policies towards whites by noting "it's not the same." Fine, it's not the same. But they are still discriminatory policies, and whites are still unhappy about them.

At some point, we have to decide if we want to move past race, or if we want to continually attempt to redress the past.

We can't do both.
