Racist Bastards-White People Don’t Know the Cost
Posted by ShakeerResearchers did a series of studies in which a total of 958 whites of different ages and from different parts of the country were asked variations of the same question: “How much should you be paid to continue to live the rest of your life as a black person?” Most replied they would need less than $10,000. In contrast, study participants said they would have to be paid about $1 million to give up television for the rest of their lives. The results suggest most white Americans don’t truly comprehend the persisting racial disparities in our country, said Philip Mazzocco, co-author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University’s Mansfield campus.

The flip side to this question is how much would a Black person or any other person of color pay to be white? Or how much would you have to pay a person of color to be white?
There is no way a white person becomes black for less than $10K. At least that is my perception. I thought that was a good analysis by the author of the report that it just shows the lack of understanding with race in this country. It is definitely still prevelant than many people give it credit for.

One of my colleagues sent me this. This is very interesting as it seems that whites have so blinded themselves to race that they actually believe that being black is a walk in the park; their color blind mentality. The idea of race has not changed in this country. It has gone from different (being black) is bad so we can persecute and oppress. To different is still bad so we just dont dismiss the difference and thus the people. Respect and acceptance is what we want. And not tolerance; you tolerate your pain in the ass little sibling.
