"Not altogether true. Whether you think so or not, you're a beneficiary of the eurocentric, white supremacist philosophy that this country was founded on (assuming you're white, of course)" I am a beneficiary of lots of things in my lifetime as well as things before my lifetime. I also have been hurt by things that happened before my lifetime and during my lifetime. BUT, that has nothing to do with me and who I am as a person and how I act. Do I wish some things had never happened? Yes. Do I wish some things HAD happened? Yes. But, I shouldn't run around hiding my white face because of something I had nothing to do with. And before it turns into a discussion of how this race or that race screwed someone one over, it was an analagy attempting to give a (somewhat) similar example of the feelings about the Poser gallery displayed above.
