It's not pretentious at all, I was making the point that you're pandering to white guilt. It's the oppression olympics all over again. What kind of arrogance is it to ask people to give up their own privileges when you yourself are clearly privileged. Look in the mirror you hypocrite. Also, nobody chooses their lot in life, what kind of moron wants to make his life harder than it already is? Your question isn't coherent.

LORDSHIP? Wow, you are obsessed. You're all about race and ignoring social class. Social class is what matters nowadays. There are powerful black people that run things and rule over people too, they've served in office before. Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell... There are rich, powerful black people (Oprah Winfrey for example). You're so race-obsessed that you think every white person is lording over minorities. That's pretty distorted. Let me ask you a question. Poor white trailer park trash - who do they lord over? Nobody. Why? Because they're at the bottom of the social class. Telling me I don't get shit is not a coherent response either. Who's pretentious now?

that's not class reductionism. class reductionism is if I said race was irrelevant. obviously race affects privileges, nobody denies that. i was pointing out that social class has more of an effect on someones "standing" than their race does.

That's not a direct quote. I said class is what matters as a short-hand, I never said ONLY class matters. I was emphasizing that class seems to have more influence than race on social standing (ever heard of the Wabenzi?)
