And here lies the toad? What does that mean to you? Are you trying to make light of a serious issue?
The only toad I know of is the White Supremacist System and all of the puppets that keep it afloat...of which we are well apart of...its about meeting our demand...we white people kiss this toad's ass thinking its the prince (relative comfort and freedom).

Our benefit and privilege is not just about history. We benefit in an Infinite amount of ways...not just free from being a suspect going into a store...as well it is also about where and how those goods came to be in the store......or how one got to the store....the goodyear tires on the bus, bike, or car that got you there.

"WE are speaking of King Leopold chopping off the hands of hundreds of thousands of Afrikan people for rubber http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3516965.stm " Dr. Kambon

Or for that matter...the gas....everything about the damn vehicle.
There is so many ways we are intrinsically interwined and use our White Benefits and Privileges.
"I recieve that benefit on a daily basis, and I'm sorry"
Well "I am Sorry" is a start we whites can make and also comes with examining Privilege along side benefits, demanding Justice, demanding Reparations.

"Thoughts such as those are socially conditioned through media and other outlets and reinforced with hate and lies and propaganda. I am aware of this. But I am also aware that not all white people have such thoughts. Also, there are those that do have compulsions towards those thoughts, yet are aware of them and actively supress them in the face of logic."

Yes we are conditionally and contiually bombarded with privilege and benefits(hate, lies and propaganda)...I have yet to meet a white person who is free of that. The thing is to be actively facing it...not denying...but examing what our life means...examining the words we use....how we treat others...our insecurities....what are relative comfort means...what our relative freedom means...and at what expense it is ensured....to look at ourselves through the context of the world...which brings up another conditioning we fall in line with...the American propagation of Individualism.
Ok ~ how about not only black people by how "you' define "them". How about all people any darker shade than white? After all...us whites are "conditoned" to describe the world around us....everything radiating and circling from our premise of what is what....we always want to be the measuring stick. Did you even read Dr. Kambon's whole article? Or did you just see the word "exterminate" and got scared that the "slaves" are revolting? How many times and how many ways is our White privilege, benefit, domination being cemented?
You, me and every white person is accountable. I am uncomfortable with my comfort. Are you yet?
