(34,648 posts)I was too at first by racist comments and outright racial physical abuse and stuff. Once they get past the hurt feelings they will see that they are privileged by being able to ignore the issue of racism anytime they choose. I think they are uncomfortable because they know once the talk starts, it won't ever stop until something gets done. They end up feeling guilty. The ones who strive for better everyday end up taking the time to sort things out, and while they remain uncomfortable, the guilty feelings subside, probably because they see something wrong and they speak. If everybody was like you, and SheShe, and Hof, and Ism and banes, marym, etc, we would not still be in the place we are. I need more people like you guys in the world. You guys remind me of MJ's 'Heal the World' song. I feel good when I see your names on a race thread. I can just skip it sometimes and Kwassa will handle it or BlueNorthWest or Scootaloo will smash on them. I guess that why I think that there is a chance. I'm sure you all felt uncomfortable and a bit guilty at one time, but you worked it out. Good people.
