Obviously, you're not black.
That logic 
How are blacks being oppressed? Last time I checked all they got was special privileges.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought all we were doing was making blatantly false statements with no factual proof.
But really, who needs factual proof anyways, your opinion is more authoritative, correct? I still can't get over that one.
Maybe that's because you tucked tail and hid from this thread until we stopped discussing actual numbers.
Feel free to get over that one and read the thread.
Says the guy who thinks his opinion is more authoritative than a research study 
I posted actual numbers showing blacks commit more crimes. You are refusing to provide a real example of current racial oppression in America.

Generalizing characteristics to a race of people is what's prejudice. Racism; however, is not just prejudice. It's prejudices + systematic oppression of said race. While minorities can often be prejudice against whites, it's not accurate to call that racism, because there is no systematic oppression of white people by minorities in America.

Kinda.
If there's a black judge punishing whites more strictly than other races, that's still oppression, whether it was previously sanctioned by society or not.
But you're right, in the vast majority of cases, whites are not oppressed in this country, hence the term 'white privilege.'

Every Caucasian who applies to a college, applies for a government job, applies for a job in academia or tries to get a contract with the government is being oppressed.

No it is not.
1. Affirmative Action admissions policies. This does not need a link. It is common knowledge 2. Diversity golas in college hiring 3. Diversity goals in government hiring 4. Minority set asides for government contracts.

So the intention was racist but the law makers failed to make it effective. I'm not seeing any address of the other ways whites are being oppressed.

That is a very special talent. Unqualified minorities are taking the spaces in universities from qualified Caucasians. Oppression.

It wasn't an evasion, it's explaining why everything you claimed is wrong.
And even if it was, you used the exact same line Just stick to mocking the underage kids in the pub where you actually stand a chance.

The Ecstatic said: How is racial oppression ancient history? Because it's illegal?
In that case drunk driving and beating your wife is ancient history.
That really qualifies as a valid argument in your mind?
Racial oppression...in America is ancient history. No one is arguing it doesn't exist elsewhere.
It's not an argument it's an analogy, to start. And yes, it's valid.
You're implying that since we came together and a majority agreed that slavery, and then a century later discrimination, should be illegal. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just like finally agreeing that the stories pastime of beating your wife should be illegal, and yet it still happens.
Still confused?
That analogy doesn't make sense. Racial oppression isn't still happening in America.
What? It must be easy to condescend when you claim both sides of the argument are correct.

Please quote me where I said my opinion is more valid than a scientific study.
And what do numbers have to do with "refusing to provide a real work example of racial oppression?"
Apparently you agree with zappa's example, I believe the one I used is a racist judge giving stricter sentences to black convicts.

It wasn't obvious to you that earlier I was referring to blacks? That is what this whole thread is about. I wasn't going to bring up whites being oppressed because I'd just be labeled a baby who is crying white tears. It's happened before.

We've been talking about racial oppression, white, black, even asian, so far.
Don't tell me I'm babbling because you can't get the terminology to travel from your head to the keyboard.
