As a fellow of person once said "why do White people have to feel guilty about shit, the ones today didn't own slaves." The guy didn't want White folk to bear the evils of the past. When most weren't even in America then. Italians in America didn't own slaves. Irish didn't. So you want to punish them too? Get a fucking grip.
Truth.
People don't want to hear this because what they want is that you, Senor Whitey had benefitted from slavery. How? Because Whitey got to the top of the hill and pulled other Whiteys with them? Dude, have you seen how that works here? There's a reason why it's called "Sanford & Sons." It's people they know. So yes, the more "minorities" we know the more they will trust us.
When I was 14 I got a job at Little Caesars' pizza. A brown Asian teen. LET ME REPEAT...A predominantly WHITE neighborhood in distressed Cincinnati, Ohio hired me to wash pans. Are you fucking kidding me? There is no race issue in America. There is a perception of race issue. They hired every fucking person there. EVEN a White Supremacist (from Tennessee). But we got along. We absolutely bickered but we still had respect under this microcosm.
So most of the Lefties will probably say "Well, that's anecdotal." Meaning it only happened to me, so therefore, it happens to everyone.
Fucking wrong. This is America and everyone just wanted to be American (bored).
Absolutely there were bigoted jokes. I made them too. My manager was an old lesbian. Made those jokes too. But as Anthony Mackie say..."we just laughed. They laughed. We laughed."
That's it. We just saw the ridiculousness.
This is what I mean by "on the ground level." Behind computers we can hate each other because of the perception. I GUARANTEE you on the ground level we get to know one another. The real outliers and minorities ARE the closeted bigots or true racists who remain quiet. Our perception of racism is that if you put a Black teen in charge of the register, he'd steal. We quietly don't allow this (which I saw at K-Mart...which they didn't let ANY teen boys operate). This is true bigotry. When we don't even see how distrust permeates. But enough people have been indoctrinated with some examples to make this a stereotype.
But White people go home and flog themselves over these thoughts.
Why?
The fact that you even HAVE these thoughts tells me (anyway) you are a good person who likes others. The problem is, the more you push the agenda the more you have to hide. Remember those politicians who hated gays, then announced they were homosexuals?
Any way, White folk...STOP taking on the guilt of...I don't know what the fuck you feel guilty about. You endure enough of it from not calling your Mothers enough.
So go call your Mother.
