So why is it that white people for want of a better phrase always get the most anger aimed at them for being what is described as racist these days?
Is it merely down to there being more white people in the world, so by mere numerical supremecy they will always considered to be the most racist due to their colour and perhaps sex n age?
Took me ages to digest your post..thank you.
