This is Subjectivist garbage. Even if you accept subjectivist thought, no individual could possibly experience ‘several centuries’ of anything. Let alone all the individuals who fall into the category of ‘black’. These things can only be experieced by individuals at different levels and for differing amounts of time. Most of those individuals where NOT black (thought I would throw that in there since meaningless generalities seem to be mistaken as having some form of validity in these types of discussions). Are we now allowed to make sweeping generalities about different races now? Please cite the percentages of whites who have not been excluded from ‘very much’. I of course have no problem with organizations which seek to promote the interests of blacks as a group. Of course then we must accept that it is ok for ‘whites’ to do the same, maybe not an emotionaly appealing logical imperitive, but a logical imperitive all the same (playing a little devils advocate here). Unless one of course would like to reject the idea that whites have a single cultural identity (which I do by the way), in which case you have no argument AT ALL in regard to your broad statements about mainstream society. The problem with ascribing characteristics to people based on thier skin color is absolute sillyness, be it from blacks or whites and especially in the arguments for affirmative action in it’s current incarnations. It is flawed thinking and has no place in our national or personal policies.
