I agree. I can't imagine what it's like being black in America.

I am often reminded of my white privilege and I feel guilty and angry

In my opinion what you believe simply isn't true. But your belief that you are a victim of rampant racism may have a serious negative effect on your life, and the lives of any children you may have.

The Black Harvard Professor Roland G Fyer Jr studied police behavior and found that police are slightly less likely to use deadly force against a Black suspect than a White suspect. [nationalreview.com] In my opinion we do have a serious problem with trigger-happy police in the USA, and it affects all races.

The great Black economist Dr Thomas Sowell has written that it is belief in their own victimhood that is the major negative factor in the lives of poor Whites in the UK and poor Blacks in the USA. [townhall.com]

Immigrants come to the USA from Nigeria with black skin, and on average they earn slightly more than White Americans. They don't think of themselves as victims so they work hard and are quite successful. [en.wikipedia.org]

And my boss, a Black man, doesn't think he's a victim and neither do I. He is the third Black boss I have reported to during my long and well-paid career.

Yeah, you’ve hit a lot of issues here but I can see why it all gets jumbled together. A lot of white folks are angry about the culture shift too, and we can’t say it enough. the rise of Trump-fueled racism is shocking and appalling. yes, I knew there were still racists, but 5 years ago most racists knew to keep it to themselves because it was not socially acceptable. With the election of Trump, it seems like people are emboldened in their hate.

The current state of police interactions with POC is, I assume, a similar thing - it has probably always happened but people are more aware now because of cell-phone cameras and the internet. It’s disturbing, and it makes me angry, to see how white people yield the power of police as a weapon because they are uncomfortable with the presence of black and brown people. And it’s unacceptable how often police are acting as jury and executioner. And the combination of those things must be terrifying for POCs.

It’s definitely not, as you say, “all white people,” also not the majority I think, but still far too many people living in backwards ignorance. I’m sad and upset the POC are living in fear. I’m sorry for how this is affecting you and so many others. We are with you.
