This angry (okay - I'm really not so angry) white man suggest that this "priviledged position" was earned, not given. Crybabies might suggest that it was taken by force, but in fact, it was assumed because no one else stepped up to the plate. He innovated, explored, invented, rescued, and yes, conquered. Humanity is not wihout it's faults and the AWM does not have the corner on the atrocity market by a long shot. In fact, were it not for the AWM, the bleeding heart would not be able to exist and there would be a lot more hurt in this world.
I'm white and happy to be so. When I hang out with a black or Mexican guy he hopefully is just as happy with who he is. I judge people based on their behavior - not their skin color. I could care less to be honest.

What a bunch of horse*****. Do you think whites are the only bad guys in history? Do you think we have this "position of priviledge" because we were the biggest bad a$$es on the planet? The Indians, Mexicans, and the blacks had plenty of bad guys of their own that sold out their own. Check out Africa right now. They're killing each other off by the millions. It is absolutely NOT my legacy. I'm just a blip on the radar of history and happen to be doing well right now. Check back in 500 years and let me know how we're doing then.
