In reply to the discussion: Quick Question... Why should black people love white people? [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)That should count for something that we don't go after retribution. We are trustworthy on race issues. We try year after year to assimilate, that shows we try to be a part of society. We have peaceful protests year after year even though we live under Jim Crow 2.0. We never lynch you. There are no photos of smiling black faces at lynch a white person parties. All black juries are of no concern to you. 1/3 of our men spend time in prison in the racist drug war yet we do not bomb shit and take it out on you.
There are not black cops running around major cities profiling you, hell even THEY profile us. We don't vote for manditory minimums knowing it will be mostly you that get caught up in the net. We try to be accepted by you no matter what. We explain our selves and explain ourselves even when mocked and discarded.
What have we NOT done? I think we have done plenty FOR white people. We actualky want to trust and try and try but get deals reniged on, left out of things. We have dome much and more. How much more do you want us to do?
