Back from my shower, I was just thinking about it, so I might as well post it:
Many white people often like to say that they "look at everybody equally" or that "everyone is a person, that's all I see!", or that "Black and white people are the same, we're all people!", but I would disagree. You can't ignore race because race is there, and there ARE differences between white and black people. We aren't all equal people. Black people are more likely to be born into poverty. The national salary of black people is lower than white people. Race is there, and it's an issue, and there are differences based on race. Just because you look at people the same does not mean that they are the same. White people and black people are born into different circumstances, and on the whole, it is worse for black people. //endrant (by the way I was speaking about the United States)
