white help needed:

"...racism is a white problem in that its development and perpetuation rest with white people. whites created racism through the establishment of policies and practices that serve to their advantage and benefit and continue to oppress all [nonwhite people] in the united states [and the world]. racism is perpetuated by whites through their conscious and/or unconscious support of a culture and institutions that are founded on racist policies and practices. the racial prejudice of white people coupled with the economic, political, and social power to enforce discriminatory practices on every level -- cultural, institutional, and individual -- is the gestalt of white racism. therefore, the 'race problem' in america is essentially a white problem in that it is whites who developed it, perpetuate it, and have the power to resolve it."
