I want all the white people in here to acknowledge that white privelidge exists. That as a white male, i can drive down the street anywhere in the country at any time in any kind of car and not get pulled over just because i am white. If you can't acknowledge the covert racism in this country than you're not paying attention. I'm not saying that everyone is racist, just that you and i probably in some small way are. Acknowledge that fact and then try to make a change. This country can be a radically different place to live depending on your skin color. Of course skin color is not the only determinant but it can be a big one.
Anyways, if minorities got equal representatoin in the media-equal, not "look there is one mexican guy on NBC this season, gosh they're diverse"- but actual representation, there wouldn't be a need for seperate awards ceremonies.
