Of all the race issues tied into this, oddly the one it makes me think about hardest is privelege. Because, I immediately try to understand what the hell those guys were thinking, and the closest I can really come to relating is "I just want what's mine to stay mine" mentality. But a) you shouldn't have things like all-white benches anymore and b) that behavior was *never* justified method for reclaiming something, even if it was yours.
But, y'know, I almost didn't post about this because after all it doesn't affect me, right?
Yeah, that thought pattern is something else that counts as "privelege". It shouldn't really *be* "mine".
