1. Some non-whites are racists too. I never said we are all saints.
2. Hundreds of years of indoctrinated racism tends to produce scummy guys like your mugger friend.
3. When I say white people don't know how good they have it, I mean it.
You're not nearly as likely to be turned down for a good job because of you're skin color (something that a law actually had to be passed to control ie Affirmative Action).
You can live in any nice neighborhood and not have to worry about realtors and neighbors trying to get you to move out, solely because of your appearance or accent (the Fair Housing Act had to be passed for that and is still ignored to this day).
People don't tell you that "you're so well spoken" just becaue you don't sound retarded.
You don't get pulled over by the cops as much for no reason at all.
I could go on. It's a different world for you and I. I'm not saying I hate you (white people in general, not just you) for advantages you were born with, and I truly believe you (you, individually) don't know just how different life is between whites and non-whites).
I'm sorry to hear you got mugged and all. It's not your (you, individually) fault that things are the way they are. The earlier generations of white people made this mess. It sounds racist coming from a black mouth, but fact is fact. White people killed off most of the Native Americans, enslaved large numbers of Africans, colonized Africa (and made a rather big mess of it) and the effects of that are still being felt today. And that's just North America and Africa. There's still a lot of Asia, Australia and South America as well.
Call me racist if you like. But I'm just stating fact.
