Race may be a social construct, but white people are in for a surprise if we think that other ethnicities are going to allow white privilege to continue.

I am wondering why and how this is a belief, from OMS1’s perspective because the world has not always functioned from this perspective.
The construct, as we know it today, began perhaps 500 years ago among European scientist. Meaning, it can be dismantled.

Disagree. No one can see into the future; just because it's been happening for centuries doesn't mean change has not been made and will not be made.
That said, I think it's going to take a LONG time to root out all the various ways racism (and sexism) have been perpetuated in US society.

Unfortunately our black children especially our men see systemic racism in schools and in life. It talks special people who don’t see color but uplift the person. It is time to include black history and talk about it more.

"...because no matter what, the white skin will always have power over the dark skin."

Absolutely correct that no one can predict the future.

Our modern systems, across sectors, indicate that we need to turn ship, and quickly with regard to maintaining our economic position and strength. - evident prior to the pandemic.
Thus news is at least 30 years of age, and our national leaders are aware.

One reason for continuous education policy changes in recent decades. Some fortune companies have said (2005 Fortune), if we cannot resolve Edu, they will simply continue to offshore jobs. Bill Gates tried to contribute, rather than turn his back.

Serious consequences.
Global leaders indicate that the 21stC globalized economy will be a much different game than what the US has become accustomed to playing over the last 400 years .

Recently, as you probably know, Dr. Seuss's estate chose to stop printing a few of his older books that had offensive racial stereotypes. There was huge backlash from white people, including teachers here, screaming "cancel culture!"

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.

What if we taught students (and ourselves) to humbly subordinate to an objective truth about the world?

What if we spent more time studying and conforming to that truth than reflecting on our feelings about it?

I believe we'd see a lot less anxiety and depression. Questions like "Who am I," "Why am I here," and "Where am I going" wouldn't be so crippling and terrifying. We could look beyond ourselves and marvel at the beauty of a universe greater than ourselves.
