And funny that every comment a white guy makes that you don't like, you conveniently call racist rather than make a stab at understanding. Funny how some black people (I refuse to label all black people, even though you seem to have no problem labeling all white people) think that all whites are racist. Basically that's what you accuse us of. Dude, you are so full of anger you've closed your ears. It's as if you don't want our understanding. Rather, you want to beat the shit out of us for sins we personally never committed. All whites are guilty in your mind. And if that isn't racist, then please explain to me what you would call it. I get Black anger and I get your own personal anger. But your anger in this forum is misdirected. How do we all get to an acceptable solution if that anger continues to push away those of us who are already on your side? I'm not a masochist. Continue to punch me and I'm either going to give up and let you carry the fight on your own, or I'm going to fight back. ALL lives matter D. And I'm sick and tired of any human being thinking any color, or any gender or any race matters more than any other. I get that you don't enjoy being called a racist, because I don't like being called a racist either. But this kind of verbal slapping at each other is pointless and stalls progress. What I'm taking from this thread is that most of us (I said most of us) are on the same side, or at least would like to head the same general direction. The biggest snarl up seems to be how we all get there....you're missing a grand opportunity to teach us....and to lead us. Because you better believe that one helluva lot of white folks are as tired of this shit as you.....
And for what it's worth, I have granddaughters who are a melange of Asian, Hispanic, Italian and at least a half dozen other cultures. All that and they look Asian. And please trust me, as a member of a white race that has far more than its fair share of racist morons, I am on high alert for any potential slight to them. If I ever thought they were being treated less than respectfully based on their racial roots, I would be posting this from a prison cell.....so please dial down your outrage and accept that we're more on your side than not. We need your help to understand, not your anger to send us packing. If you ever wanted to meet for a beer somewhere, someday, I can guarantee that despite our age and cultural differences you'd be shocked at how much we have in common........
