Oh I'm sure blacks, hispanics, native Americans, etc. would welcome the privileges that being white brings along with it. Tell me, how are you going to see that this will happen? I have to say I'm glad that there are people like you who want to promote equality on a global scale.

Hahahaha! They already enjoy more previlages than me, so how do you explain that? Try getting into University of Washington - unless you an illegal mexican, or black, you need a 4.0. Who has the more rights here? Being an illegal alien, you only need a 2.0. I want to take some more courses over there, so I am researching it right now, and I am not happy about it. This is not equal rights.

Try selling to the government. If you're black, you can double the price for the same product and the government has to choose you over me. How is that fair for me?

United Airlines hiring pilots - Only 7% of the applicants were black, yet they picked up 20% of the hire, yet black people still complained that this wasn't far enough. How is that fair?

need I go on?

I live in a world of special privileges. Not equal privileges. I have to work twice as hard to have half the chance they do.

Lets just put it straight - don't feed me anymore of your BS without you knowing what you are talking about.

PS. And don't even start on me about Native Americans and their governments within our government. I'll concede to them though since they were here first.

Care to point out what some of these "privileges that being white" might be?

I'm a mutt, do I get anything? I'm sick of the race baiting, on both sides. All of the race baiters can't afford racism to go away, they have too much power to lose. Fear the industrial-racebaiting complex. I think as long as people are different, there will always be jealousy of on another. There will always be some sort of -ism. But this PCness is going to be the death of us all.

Nice try, but no cigar I'm afraid.

Look up the word equitable then the meanings mutual tolerance and understanding.

You could also try the words caring and compassion.

How am I going to see that this will happen?

I didn't realise it was my sole responsibility.

I will assure you of one thing though...as a British Police Officer I always endevour to practice what I preach.

You might want to look up the internet meaning of baiting whilst your searching for the other meanings.
