I'm a Black man, and I feel sorry for you.  Are a lot of Black people racist? Sure.  There are racists in every ethnic group.  Unfortunately, it is a pandemic trait at the level of human development where our species currently stands.  Is there often an unfair standard applied to Whites as opposed to Blacks in terms of what is acceptable to say at times? Yes.  Do efforts to overcome racial inequities occasionally overreach and unfairly impact Whites? Yes.  Are Whites sometimes accused of racism when such a charge is not justified? Yes.

But you White guys feeling sorry for yourselves, I feel sorry for you.  I feel sorry for you, because you are so depressed, your self-esteem is so low, your own personal sense of self-worth so lacking, that you can't see the fact that YOU RUN THE FREAKING WORLD!  The overwhelming majority of the people on this planet with any significant wealth or power are white males.  But yet, some of you guys, who enjoy so much privilege as a group, can only bitch and moan and remain obsessed with the few rare instances where privilege benefited someone NOT white.  Success is never guaranteed in life for anyone, but if you are an American white male, you have, on average, more chances than anyone else in the WORLD to get it right, more opportunities to succeed than anyone.  You can't see all the thousands of doors that being White opens for you in life--instead you're fixated watching for any door that opens for a minority so you can complain about why you can't go through THAT door.  Every time a Black person has any success or privilege, it burns you up.  But you're blind to the MILLIONS of white males that enjoy success and privilege every day in America and around the world.  You need to open your eyes and broaden your scope.

You're obsessed with OJ and Michael Jackson because you believe they got away with crimes, but yet you seem not to care at all about the fact that thousands of Black men around the country are wrongly imprisoned for crimes they DIDN'T commit.  You're obsessed with OJ for 15 years now, and steam comes out of your ears every time his name is mentioned, but you NEVER mention Robert Blake, or any of the dozens of rich White guys that have gotten away with murdering their spouses over the history of this country.  OJ is infamous to you you, but I'll give you $10 if you can name the white guys who murdered Emmitt Till and got away with it without looking it up.  How many lynchings were successfully prosecuted in American history? Not many.

And please stop telling me about America's racist PAST.  America has a racist PRESENT.  We've made a ton of progress, everyone who is reasonable recognizes that, but minorities in America are still impacted by racism and prejudice every day.  It's far better than it was, but if you think it no longer exists, you need to go to the Black neighborhood in your town and sit down and talk to some people about their life experiences.  These days, the disadvantages may arise more often from systemic things rather than deliberate hateful things, but they are still present.

So I'm not going to call you racist.  I'm going to call you myopic.  You need to take a broader look at the world instead of just focusing on a small group of things that you feel are unfair, or on the small group of situations where possibly, Blacks are privileged more than Whites.  Look at the big picture.  Which would you rather have? The right to tell dumb jokes like Jamie Foxx or 43 of the 44 presidents?  Which would you rather have? One weird screwed up entertainer who maybe molested children but yet is still worshipped after dying at 50, or 490 out of the Fortune 500 CEOs? Stop feeling sorry for yourself.  As an American White male, you are the most privileged creature on the planet.  I know, that doesn't mean your life is easy. That doesn't mean you have it made.  But the problems and frustrations you have are multiplied for everyone outside your group.

And as a final note, it cracks me up that right-wing types (and honestly a lot of left-wing people too) who are so "rah rah America" reject the basic foundation of the American legal system, innocent until proven guilty, any time someone who they have concluded was guilty based on evidence gathered from our sensationalist news media.  Do I think OJ was guilty? Yes.  Do I think Michael Jackson was guilty? Maybe.  But its just funny to me how so many people in America now basically have a presumption of GUILT when someone is accused of a crime, and don't respect the legal process unless it yields the same conclusion that they reached from the evidence they gathered from their diligent investigations of watching television.  So when OJ gets off, when Michael Jackson gets off, there is outrage.  But when you want to talk to these same outraged people about people who are wrongly incarcerated, their attitude suddenly changes to "Oh no, there is no significant number of innocent people in prison.  The justice system always works".
