america. as i had dialogues with communities, the experience of america is different across communities. people are not talking to each other about that experience. someone who doesn't have any friends of color or is not part of communities of color, they really believe america is exactly the way they are experiencing it. what we want to bring awareness to is when we talk about america , it is not just on communities of color to change anything. it was not just on martin luther king to change anything. it was on when america to say this is not acceptable. this is happening in my country, this is not acceptable. there will be thousands of what americans out there with us who are -- white americans out there with us who are saying this is not ok, you're not alone. people, women and children of color across the country have dignity and respect, and their rights are upheld. host: the march for racial justice happening here in washington. we are taking your calls. the line for democrats is (202) 74

black america's burden, but white america's problem. we accept that it's our burden. but when, where, how will ever white people accept that it's their problem? >> i think that we don't because whiteness hasn't really been racialized the way that blackness has. white folks have the ability to believe ourselves unraced. we view ourselves as the neutral sort of floor model of an american. that's part of what whiteness does. it creates a mentality of entitlement. to connect that to what carol's talking about, if you are raised generation after generation to not only expect that if you work hard and play by the rules it will work out for you, which is something no person of color can take for granted or has ever been able to take for granted, but white folks could. particularly white men, particularly straight, white men. white men, middle class and above, could assume that. even working class white guys could assume horizontal mobility, right, as in my daddy worked at the plant, i'm working at the plant, my son's going to worker at the plant or the coal mine or whatever.
