The instructor at a university training on racism said that white people are the privileged race, in power, and oppressive of other races and the reason why people of color have a hard time dealing with or accepting white people without resentment is because they feel they are being oppressed. If you are of color please tell me if you agree that white people are privileged as a race, and if so, is it a source of anger that you, as a race are being oppressed. Also, if you are of color, what is it that a white person or community can do to help relieve the anger or end the oppression? If you are white, do you feel that being white has enabled you to receive benefits over non-whites? Do you feel resented by people of color? And do you have any experiences with what works to help improve your relationships with people of color?
If anyone would like to help me better understand, because I seem to be culturally ignorant, I'd appreciate one to one email discussion.
