294. But other people trust them...especially to deal with people of color

Whatever your personal experiences are, understand that a great many people of color have the same experience merely because of the color of their skin.

Funny thing is that I have a right wing family member (I actually have quite a few) but this particular member posted the article thinking that it was some triumph over "liberal hypocrisy". I merely commented on how racism is ingrained in a very big chunk of our population since the before the country was founded, when my particular ancestors brought slaves over, and enslaved or wiped out the native Mexicas, Maya, and other native groups. Converted them by the sword and tried to destroy the language and culture. Similarly in the colonies, Black people were seen as non humans and sold like cattle. While slavery was primarily a Southern thing, the slave trade, and the view of Black people as inferior was widely held in the North as well.

We can certainly focus on how conservatives actively fight to promote White Supremacy and we should, but that does not mean that we shouldn't listen to people of color when they tell us that there are things that the rest of us are doing that hurt them too.
