In reply to the discussion: I am not shocked I am just hurt [View all]Number23
(24,544 posts)29. I was thinking the same thing. Amidst all of the angst are alot of people talking about how this
is just NOW becoming an issue and how the country has lost its mind as if this is a recent thing.
What these people don't understand is that for a whole hell of a lot of people, the U.S. has ALWAYS been like this and this has ALWAYS been an issue but the people attempting to raise it were accused of being "race hustlers" playing the "race card." It's no coincidence either that many of the main ones acting so shocked about this are the same ones who act as though racism is only an issue from conservatives/ in the South/ from the religious etc. as if it's not something that touches lots of people everywhere.
