I think Amy said it best, but OMG FAIL. Way to claim that your suffering >> everyone else's, without having a clue what anyone else has gone through. No, being white doesn't make life easy; it makes life easier than being non-white.
I think it is time for a post on RaceFail from me (and I know it is my white privilege that has let me delay this long; said post would basically consist of "if I am being racist, fucking call me on it" and "people of color, I want you to feel safe here"). I hate that it's gotten to the point where I have to make that post, but I want to make my stance very, very clear.
