Odd of you to criticize the media narrative and then fixate on rebutting it. How about loan access? Salaries? Sentencing lengths?

I see you're deflecting, and straw-manning. I never claimed racism doesn't exist. I was simply addressing your query about black lives.

My claim was that it exists, and that it is of an absurdly larger magnitude of importance than white feelings.

What you fail to understand is that white feelings *determine* racism toward blacks. So it's not less important, not at all.

Right, and white entitlement is the core of the mechanism that causes that link.

Oh, I see, blame white entitlement. Well, then, I think your arguing with me is racist white entitlement. How about that?

Seriously though, of course white feelings are going to be the primary determinant of racism against non-whites. Whites make up the majority in the West.

That doesn't mean that discriminating against individual whites on the basis of their skin color won't cause resentment.

Should white resentment be allowed to have consequences for non whites in a just society?

Not in a perfect society, but a perfect society is impossible. We have to work within the parameters of reality.

I don't think you've shown that white power is less mutable than any other undesirable aspect of the political present.

I haven't shown it, reality has, with Trump, Brexit, the far-right resurgence in Poland, Hungary and across Europe -- all of this despite the mainstream narrative being one of inclusiveness and multiculturalism.
