Are White people obligated to help Blacks?

No. No they really wouldn't.

The white person in my scenario is homeless, has no decent qualifications due to going to an awful school and is at the bottom of the ladder, near unable to climb up due to a lack of social mobility from their position.

The black person's parents paid for him to attend a top private school where he was coached into getting the top grades and due to family connections he is near guarenteed a top job upon graduation.

The black person still has numerous affirmative action scores open to him though. The white person does not.

I don't know. Mods here have a record of being unreasonable and ridiculous.

I have to humbly disagree with your overall position; I don't think it is fair to politicize the issue in this way.

There is clearly a racial power dynamic tilted in favour of white people and, as such, you can't draw an equivalence between black oppression and 'white oppression'.

The whole premise of this thread is politicised. Asking white people to take responsibility for the politics of the past or present.

My point is not to try and draw comparisons between black and white oppression but to highlight the numerous instances where on an individual level a white person has been disadvantaged much more than certain black people and yet are offered much less help by society than the better off black people in question. The need for help given should be assessed individually taking into account a range of factors rather than just blinding giving help to one race of people and not another.

Yes but on the other hand black people should be AWARE and UNDERSTAND that much of the hostility towards them comes from their astronomically high levels of crime and violence - far more so than any other group, even after controlling for poverty, etc. Around 55% of street crime in London is committed by blacks for example, despite the fact they only make up 12% of the population and they aren't even the poorest or most "oppressed" group (Bangladeshis/Pakistanis, are poorer and face as much "racism" but commit very little crime): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7856787/Violent-inner-city-crime-the-figures-and-a-question-of-race.html

The same pattern holds in most other countries, and blacks typically commit crime around 5-8x more than other races (America is an extreme case where blacks are completely out of control and the main drivers of pretty much all crime statistics, but you see similar patterns in countries like Brazil/France/etc too - essentially anywhere that has a large black population). So if you want to understand the source of racism, look here. Many people who live around blacks end up feeling very wary around them due to their crazy levels of crime/violence, and trying to write that off as "racism" is disingenuous as hell.

Racism isn't random, its not like the entire world independently decided to be racist against Africans for no reason (and if you think white people are "racist" against you, just try talking to a typical person from South Asia or China and see what they think - their attitudes towards blacks makes the typical European look like Martin Luther King). Other races manage to integrate into society without committing enormous amounts of crime, and blaming "racism" makes no sense since the same pattern repeats itself in many different countries (including black countries)
