I Love Black People

[b]I grew up in several ghettos from Los Angeles to Monroe La to Louisville. Before I knew what racism was I had Hispanic and Black friends, and, we loved each other. What else mattered? We as individuals are not the problem, the world and it's tainted views and systems are. Later in life I was violently mugged by two Black men. This was a weary time for me and left emotional scars and yes, even stereotypical paranoias. At the same time, our white ancestors left serious scars on generations of Blacks, and left them weary too. So what is the answer? A poor mentality will say to exterminate the white race or some crap like that. Do your own research and dig into black perspectives while using empathy if needed. It never hurts to see everyone's side of the story. I also grew up tormented by redneck racist assholes who even hated outsiders and called us yanks. But inside of me is something better than using fire to put out a fire. It's called love. Black or white, why can't we each just see people as individuals instead of stereotyping. I get the feeling that most white racists supreme types are the way they are just to fit in and not be tormented by their own kind.[/b]

Accepting the fact that we are all human beings that experience the same emotions and feelings even if we don't share the same experiences.

1st let me say i am sorry you were beaten up and ill treated by you say [i]rednecks[/i]. Its nice to hear from a white mans perspective something that i also agree woth, treating people on a individual basis. But I think some things have just gone way too far.
And with all the shifts in the world recently I cant see anyone really agreeing to get on. Beyond what we do when we're not using open racism and discrimination.

2.If you think of life like the animal kingdom, animals usually let different species live, but if their paths cross and they dont respect the natural hierarchical order,the authority will be re-established. And within those different groups there is another hierachy.

So its human nature. We all just have to accept that.
And unfortunately try and get on, where we fit in.
@Peppa In the animal kingdom, humans seem to be the only group that doesn’t recognize that merely having different coloring doesn’t make a different species.

I agree with most of this.
I have a low tolerance for whites that are “fitting in”. I see insensitivity in my family and a support of the current leader that shocked me.

@ApolloCreed
You are in general being generous in judgement. I tend to be harsher with my “own kind”.
