@Jeffrey53 How do you know ? Seriously ?

@Jeffrey53 Or maybe they choose not to discuss it with you or others within the majority group for fear of being accused of lying to further a political agenda.

People are sick of having their traumas thrown back in their faces so have learned to not talk about it. It makes it look less prevalent than it really is. It takes a lot of courage to speak out in this current environment bevause it really puts a target on your back.

@SwampFlower Absolutely right. I have friends (and my youngest sister) who won’t even discuss such things with their white spouses, because, some say, “all they can do is feel bad about it. They can’t change it.” 😞

@bijouxbroussard I'm not black but I can't talk about it with my family or friends because they dismiss it, ridicule what I'm saying or become angrily defensive. I can never really understand how it must be to be non-white. All I get is that glimpse.

Don’t attack me because my friends say they never been harassed by the police. I’m just answering the Arthur’s question

@bijouxbroussard 🤗

@Jeffrey53 No one’s attacking you. Just wondering if you are certain or just assuming so.

@SwampFlower 🤗

@Jeffrey53 No one attacked you. I was merely suggesting that you may not know every detail of your friends' struggles.

Society rewards silence and punishes those who speak out. There is an incentive to not talk openly about this which is why anecdotal stories like yours don't really provide evidence to the OPs argument. That's all I'm saying.
