(73,772 posts)It's not really our obligation to spare the feelings of white people. To the contrary, attempting to spare those feelings only works to our detriment.
After all, whites retain the highest position in our racial hierarchy.
Of course, those black people did not appreciate the fact that you brought up so-called black on black crime. Have you even taken a moment to consider why you got that reaction?
Quite simply, you're blaming the victims of systematic oppression, one that they did not create. You're disregarding the entire background by which that current system exists, one which functions to control and diminish black life.
I'm quite sure that you were told all of this before. But consider the fact that you've never been black a single day in your life. In spite of this, you feel utterly entitled to judge and denigrate the black victims of hundreds of years of white oppression.
I'm not surprised that you're unaware of any of this.
