White people have black friends in lots of places. What they don't have are the types of relationships with minorities [and listen really fucking closely] in which they support them for opportunities in any types of numbers that whites do. Hell, white people who have more diverse friends are probably even less likely to be in a position to benefit those friends.

How could that not be the case, given blacks are a minority. If 15% of people are black, statistically, how would whites (or any other group) support them for positions in greater numbers than the other 85%?
Your second sentence suggests that whites with more diverse social networks tend not to have as much power as whites who do not. While the cynic in me finds that somewhat compelling, I'm going to have to spit your "don't throw anecdotes at me" line back at you here.

No. What's ridiculous is that I can state something so obvious to anyone with half a brain and have people like you turn it into "identity politics."

I'm not using identity politics as a pejorative. I think the term captures that form of politics honestly, and as I noted elsewhere, identity politics has a place, and validity.

Please stop telling us about how you enjoy telling your conservative friends this and your liberal friends that. We all know it's pure bullshit.

You are a ridiculous person. I'm done with the rest of the post. And everyone on this board has seen an excellent example of exactly what I am the article are talking about. This conversation has been flipped back by you so that we are talking about your reaction, your feelings, you you you. "Not all whites!" So fucking ridiculous.

I didn't dignify Ty's argument in this regard, based on a logical fallacy (see, you're proving my point by disagreeing with me!), and I won't yours.
