Uhh no. I grew up in the projects. Do you know what it's like to live there? I do and as a white boy, it was that much harder. I don't see blacks as victims, I don't see whites as oppressors. But I do understand institutional racism. Do you?
You know nothing about me EXCEPT your own preconceived notions of who I am.
If the shoe fits, it's not my fault.
