(34,648 posts)White people in America have been at war with minorities since tgey arrived and began the process of land theft and genocide and slavery. Killing millions of natives, killing milkions of Africans, the trail of tears, Jim Crow, and the Prison Industrial Complex are examples of White making War against colored people.
I get my feelings hurt too by the idea that my people worked, lived and died under the lash of a masters whip and yet and still we are treated like refuse. If your feelings are hurt because white folks are blamed for the racism they refuse to let go of...... Too bad. You have it good compared to the two gentlemen who just spent 40 years in prison for a murder they did not commit. One witness, told to lie by the police got them convicted. This happens to us all the time. Why should people shut up to spare white folks feelings? Nobody shuts up to spare our feelings. Ever! You will get used to it. The rest if us deal with it and none if the people caring about white feelings ever seem to care that the rest of us deal with far worse than that on a daily basis. Ain't nobody special. And there will be more discussion as time goes on and the nation gets browner. Work on your people and the cycle can end. Otherwise, our grabdkinds will continue this battle in a less lopsided manner. I hope that they are much kinder when they are in the majority that your peopke were in their time. But humans are humans.
You need to start working on th racists in the white community. There are four hundred years of violence and evil that have not been reconciled in our nation.
