White people in my experience hunger for a meaningful dialogue on race, but when we try we just get accused of racism. I imagine many of feel like German folks...some of "our" people did some evil shit to some of "theirs" so we should feel guilty and give them whatever they want. I realize that is a gross simplification, but damn it im tired of getting blamed for other peoples bullshit. |
honestly it doesnt matter what place in the world you go there will always be people who are racist ... its just a way of life ... everyone - if you go back far enough did evil shit to one another, i mean some of the most brutal things that of happened in humanity's past were a result of back and forth conflicts ... they did this to us ... lets do the same them ... back and forth - back and forth ... if we constantly hold a grudge against our fellow man for the actions of their ancestors we will never progress as individuals, we will never be able to be the best we can be, we will never fully integrate ...
