lol, really? Get a brain. Or a heart, one of the two. Either way you'll be better off in the end.

But who am I to say anything, I am white and have obviously been feed from a silver spoon my whole life, never had to work for anything like the black man has had to. Plus, their great great great great great great great great garndparents were slaves, so we white people must owe them something right?

You're exactly right. You've never been a black person before. Neither have I, but you can't expect to ever be able to see the world as they have. If you go overseas to a homogeneous culture, you might get some idea of what it's like being black in a white society. I think you might find at first that you get stared at a lot, but beyond that you might notice that you won't be one quite the same playing field as one of them. You may be overqualified for a job and the perfect fit, but you'll be looked over or given a lesser position or pay simply because you're different. You could be fluent in the language and it wouldn't matter. You're an outsider.
I know I'm basically talking to myself since most racists are very close-minded, but if you ever try to see things differently, just know that there is a huge spectrum of people and generalizing is about the worst thing you can do for "race" relations.
