>Out of interest - how would you have reacted if you were asked that question in a poll?

You know I can never just give a brief answer :)

Going back to when I was about eight years old, there's no way I'd ever participate in that specific poll.
Anyone who attempts to gain insights from the results of a poll like that is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Having said that....a few more observations:

- For years now, we've heard many speak of white privilege. My perspective: in many instances, whites have a greater margin for error. When I was about 25 I got pulled over in a major city (registration expired or something like that), and I did a number of things wrong, including doing the opposite of what the cop instructed me to do. I didn't do it out of disrespect, I was just nervous. Cop had to yell at me several times. Statistically, I think other skin colors/races might have gotten in more trouble or even worse.

- I have a lot of issues with the actions of BLM, and I'm not a supporter of CRT (and I think I have a pretty good understanding of CRT). However, there's a point we can't avoid: it took this country (supposedly founded on individual rights) from 1776 to 1863 to abolish something as odious as slavery, and another roughly 100 years to legally define civil rights.....and while there's been progress, we're not where we should be. So the BLM advocates have a point when they say, "This was supposed to be a color-blind society, and even when it was supposed to be, it wasn't". So I think I understand where they are coming from.

- When someone talks about, "It's OK or not OK to be such-and-such".....I think back to the MLK statement about judging based on quality of character. Actions are what matter the most. One of my favorite speeches (and my inspiration as a father) was the famous Father's Day speech by Barack Obama in 2008: it resonated with the idea of what you do, regardless of who you "are".
