^You have yet to address my point about the nature of white-black oppression. All you keep saying is its not true just because.....
Answer me this then, what makes you white besides your white privilege in this society?
You can't say its being of European decent because this has never been the marker (Italians and such weren't seen as white until they had white privelage), you can't say its your skin color because my latina family is very pale.
What makes you white is that you are not a minority. Do you know what that means? You cannot be considered a minority if you are not subjugated systematically...so you figure out the rest. Being apart of the majority IMPLIES being an oppressor, just as I as a heterosexual can articulate ways in which I have helped uphold hetereonormalcy and been an agent of oppression, you whether you want to admit it or not have benefited from white privilege and in turn been an agent yourself.
Your experiences with racism are isolated incidences and horrible ones at that. Do you understand the difference between that and oppression that is systematic?
Are you sure you have no problem with sociology? Because you have yet to articulate that you understand the nature of race, and I don't mean in terms of experiences, I mean you don't understand how race is socially constructed and what that construction is based on, or how it is upheld...
EDIT: This quote is all to relevant.
"The silences and denials surrounding privilege are the key political tool here. They keep the thinking about equality or equity incomplete, protecting unearned advantage and conferred dominance by making these subject taboo. Most talk by whites about equal opportunity seems to me now to be about equal opportunity to try to get into a position of dominance while denying that systems of dominance exist." - Peggy McIntosh
And something else lovely:
"Color-blind racism has crystallized as the dominant racial ideology of the United States. Whites no longer need to utter the ugly racial epithets of the past, claim God made whites superior, or argue that minorities are inferior biological beings in order to keep them in a subordinated position. Instead, whites chastise minorities in a color-blind way and, by default, defend their racial privilege in a “now you see it, now you don’t fashion.” Color-blind racism is thus a formidable weapon to maintain white privilege."
And finally an actual study:

"Results suggested that, relative to the multicultural perspective, the color-blind perspective generated
greater racial attitude bias measured both explicitly and on the more unobtrusive reaction time measure. " Yeah...
