> Most of us who aren't white males have never had the luxury of not having to think about white males. Our success is largely contingent on understanding the dominant culture of the circles of power. It is, indeed, tiresome to have to do so.

Everyone who seeks and earns power does this, even white men. If we want to be powerful, we mimic powerful people. You're conflating race and culture, which are massively different. A white hillbilly from Tennessee will have just as much trouble becoming an executive as a black man from the projects.
