It's absolutely unreal that this is accepted. How long are we going to stand by while we are being called racist, while at the same time being discriminated against simply because of our race?
WTF is a "white" person anyway?
Are they Irish? British? Swiss? Finnish? Russian? German? Italian? Scottish? Belgian? Spanish? Russian? Dutch? French? Swedish? Etc? Etc? (many of the above happen to have been enemies at various points in history or even enslaved)
I fall under that moniker and know many people that do as well. I (& everyone I've know, except one) dont give two shits about someone who has similar skin pigment (or different for that matter), take people where they're at and if they're good people, count myself lucky to know them.
The only color I think really matters & ever has, is the color of money. People of similar economic circumstances find themselves in proximity of one another, reduce that variance and the more integrated people will be.
I realize there are dumb shits out there who buy into the racist nonsense but I can only think of one person I grew up with (& probably 75% of the kids I grew up with were "white") who was blirting out racist shit and thats because his dad was an asshole, racist who somehow claimed to be a christian, the cognitive dissonance was staggering in that house.
I also think a lot of this BS in the media is GROSSLY exaggerated as everyone I interact with, without exception, whether they're friends or people I just come into surface contact with who happen to be black ( or any race/culture) are awesome people, not bitter or angry but cool and kind. Admittedly, the things I've read on Twitter and in the media have shaken me a bit and made me wonder if I was just being shined on because I happen to be "white" but in reality they hate my guts. I really dont think thats the case, but I do think the trauma of the past and present has a deeper effect that may not always be apparent to those who haven't walked in their shoes.
At the end of the day, we all need to get off social media, start talking to each other face to face, hang out more and drop all the angry bullshit
