But, maybe, in America the ancient European tradition of "noblesse oblige" has lost its relevance. Too bad. "I'm in a good incarnation and fuck you" doesn't strike me as a viable means to planetary stewardship, but that does seem to be the way things are with 30% white folks and 70% colored folks on this small rock. It is a fact that it's still a man's world, and, moreover, a white man's world. But it's condition does not speak well for you. a
At this point you appear to be ascribing way too much power to the fact that I am an american white male. I do my best to act in a way that is responsible, kind and reasonable, even to other white american males. Even if I was a non white, female non american, I'd do the same. Other than that, if you are suggesting that I have the ability to have a far reaching impact on the entire world's population through some mechanism like charity or government or politics, merely because of my gender, skin color and nationality, that seems out of perspective with regard to what we are discussing.
