Here's another maxim for you: live by the sword, die by the sword. If you want people to be treated equal, stop singling out groups (e.g. "ignorant white yuppies") and playing identity politics.
I encourage you to tell the legislatures about your wise "two wrongs" wisdom. I bet they'll empty out the prisons immediately!
Jesus left us a variety of maxims. I must admit, however, that we didn't study the Gospels in my kindergarten.
I vehemently disagree; racism is at its worst when groups who are institutionally powerful use racism to oppress groups with relatively little institutional power. To assert otherwise is to be willfully blind to the lived experiences of people who are oppressed, at best. I won't go into what it suggests at worst.
