In reply to the discussion: America [View all]H2O Man
(73,537 posts)7. Absolutely.
It's the same thing that has taken place in other local communities in this four county region, as I've detailed in other essays this year. And it's the same dynamics found in every village, town and city across America.
You ask an interesting question. I'll note that one female human from the other side, who was screaming racial slurs, telling the non-white youth from the community to "go home," and who ran across the street to push someone, has been explaining to the local media that she's not racist. I'm confident that in her mind, she believes she knows more about the life experiences of the non-white people in the community than they do. Thus, we are talking about unconscious human beings.

don't you love it when white people say they don't think racism is a problem?

I've traveled that area frequently - up and down NY 7 and I-88. Beautiful but trapped in old ways
