Again how can white folks tell blacks folks what's racist and what's not?

21. We can't

It doesn't matter what my personal experiences are as a white person interacting with African Americams. If I've been paying attention, we can't is the only possible answer

Here's an interesting article

When All the Angels Are White
I am an angel in this nation.


And I suspect the New York Times or Fox News would remember me as an angel if I am murdered in the middle of the road by a police officer in California, Florida, Missouri or Washington. Of course, I don't worry much about being shot by a police officer. I have the ultimate get-out-jail-free card, the most powerful form of protection: whiteness.

I have no reason to believe that I will be written off as a disrespectful punk, a "thug," a "troubled kid" looking for fights. I will be seen as just another white boy figuring out the world.

I stole a lot as a kid. That will not matter. I fought a lot. That will not matter. I punched holes in doors, and drank throughout high school. On the football field, I was known as "an enforcer," a term reserved for the white athletes in my division who bullied and wreaked havoc. None of that will ever be counted against me.

I'd like to challenge the national racial logic that contributes to all too deaths, that sanctions and rationalizes the almost daily killing of black youth. I'd like to really question how this nation constructs and ultimately forgives its angels. Why are we angels always white?
