This statement is absolute ********, for lack of a better word. This is even refuted as you say;

What are you talking about when you refer to "we"? You mention that "we" refuse to give "them" (the racial minorities) money.

You could have said the government, but by saying "we", and then separating the racial minorities from that group, you're implying that the group of people who has the power to make decisions is the "white", or majority race. This is in essence is the problem.

I'm not saying that white people are immune from racism, because they're not. But, the Caucasians hold the most power within Western society as a race, and people are more likely to associate with those that are "like" them. Which arguably means that in virtually all sectors of life (employment, obtaining a loans, general respect, moving up the corporate ladder), the white person (specifically white male), enjoys privileges that people of other races don't get the luxury to enjoy.

The fact that race is even in the topic in the first place is unbelievable, it's as if you're ignoring all of the white people who also apply for benefits and exclusively focus on the people in the minority races that do it.

What I gather you're trying to convey is that someone who is a racial minority applies for benefits, it automatically makes them a person who is using their race to benefit themselves. Regardless of the circumstances that they may be in, and regardless of whether or not they actually need the benefits, you'll still assume that they're "pulling the race card". Why? Because they're a racial minority. My question to you is what if a white person applies for benefits? What does that make them, and why aren't racial minorities viewed in the same way?

Here's an example of an attempt to place the racist label. YOU and people like you are the problem. You just missed the entire point behind this post trying. Please never reproduce.

Please point me to where exactly I said that he was "racist" in my post? I really am curious to know. I do not believe nor did I have the intent of calling him racist, and if you would, I would like you to provide proof of this. Thanks.

Secondly, YOU and people like you are the problem. You insult people because they offer a different viewpoint than you do, but you fail to properly explain why you disagree. Also, you're actually the one that brought the "racist" card up, not me as you originally mentioned it in your post.

To me, nothing in my post was attempted to make him seem like a racist, it was simply offering a different viewpoint to this thread. I don't believe that white people are discriminated against more than people of colour/racial minorities, and there is no way that they have less rights than the racial majority does, and I also don't believe why he brought up race in his original post. Of course, if you actually read my post, you would understand why, but I'm guessing you didn't.

I don't see why this would bother you at all. If you aren't a racist it shouldn't matter.

I see where you're coming from. I have actually been in the middle of an incident where a black-French male actually pulled the racist card because a friend of mine wouldn't give him some Oasis. Now, to use the race card as a method to get things on demand is pretty sickening to me. White people are often portrayed as the most racist of all races because you can't exactly be racist to a white person. It annoys me too, seeing how they feel everything is based on their race.

I fully agree. The race card is just getting pathetic. Nowadays, if you're a white person and you refuse to sell something like alcohol to an 8 year old black kid ( OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T!! ) they'll just instantly go to " IS IT BECAUSE I'M BLACK?!. "

Working at a retail shop where I do stock/till work, I actually get this a lot. Kids will come in trying to buy things they're not of age to but e.g. cigarettes, alcohol, games etc and when I ask them for ID/won't sell it them, they instantly raise there voice and scream racism and bitch about it for hours.

Yes I 100% agree with this post great point.
