I know what it's like to be a victim, and it's a hell of a lot different for someone to snub you socially or for someone to illegally marginalize your educational and employment opportunities because you're a racial minority than it is to be legally snubbed and marginalized because you're a white guy who, thanks to politically correct historical revisionism, is getting blamed for everybody else's problems. Let's start by remembering a little African history. Perhaps she has forgotten that white Americans didn't sell blacks into slavery, African blacks did. When slavery was still commonplace throughout much of the world, white slave traders bought black slaves from African slavers. Yet both Dr. Berry and Ms. Nelson spoke from a position of presumed historical purity.
Pure arrogance is what it is - the history of their peoples are just as tarnished as anyone else's.
Now, let's remember a little white male history. Like create the steam engine, or harness electricity, or develop cures for a myriad of diseases. I pointed out to him that, had that been the case, then assuming we would even have been born, he would never have survived to adulthood, because it was white American men who developed the technologies that allowed him to survive a life-threatening illness in his infancy. W hen we remember all our history, things change. Professor Kimmel said that every day of our lives, white men benefit from the oppression suffered long ago by women and minorities.
