Racial opression

A few days ago while I was stumbeling around online I came upon this website. http://arewhitepeopleraciallyoppressed.com/

The website itself consist mostly of a Two minute thirty second video clip of stand up from the comedian Louis CK. In the clip he discusses the advantages of being both white and a man in today's society and that historical dominance white people have had around the world. He then goes on to discuss how while it would be possible to go to any time in the past and still be in the dominant group he would not like to go to the future. In his eyes instead of the future being a place where all races lived in equality it is a place where white people would be subjugated and mistreated due to their past actions. I thought it was an interesting way to interpret white dominance of society.
