These are personal anecdotes, not refutations to the points that Tim Wise made in his article. NOWHERE in this article does he say that white people cannot experience prejudice. You just believe that people think that. The key difference is that prejudice against white people is not, and never will be systemic. It's situational. I don't understand why people think this is a valid argument, yet can never point me in the direction of legislation that harms white people. Okay, so some black and brown people do awful things and a ton of them commit crimes. But do people commit crimes because they're bored? Criminals only have themselves to blame, but I highly doubt our crime rate would be as racially skewed as it is if these people had access to the resources that they need. You can't SOLELY blame criminals when they're a product of so many of our societal processes. Read 'The Color of Law' by Richard Rothstein and you will have a much better idea of why crime seems to be concentrated among black and brown folks. It has a lot to do with the history of housing legislation and city development in America.

This country has always been unfair. FOR EXAMPLE: White people have always LEGALLY been able to buy homes in America. In 1967, Ronald Reagan himself said that If someone doesn't want to sell property to black people, they don't have to. White people have NEVER experienced something similar in this country. I'm not making this a competition, but showing you what we're dealing with here. When Ronald Reagan said that, it's because it was the popular belief at the time. There were people alive back then who are STILL alive. The last surviving Civil War vet died in 1956 - most of our grandparents were born in the 50s. Our racial wounds in America are FAR more recent than we'd like to believe.
