The problem wasnt that the bathrooms were separate. The problem was that they were decidedly not equal. Nothing has changed since then. There are many whites that would love to call me boy to my face if Malcolm and King had not posed a problem for white america and got us civil rights. Now they only refrain because they know I will put a foot in their asses. I'm not asking you to fix anything. You cant. I never asked you to kiss my ass. I simply disagreed that there was reconciliation.Basically thats what you said which is why I said basically. What you may consider as moral may not be desirable depending on what it is you do. If what you do is tell Black people things have gotten better and most white people are not racists then I would actually consider that immoral and a detriment to their success. I have become successful by understanding I have to outwork whites and never trust them. Those that fall victim to the good white person fantasy get a rude awakening. There can be good whites but Blacks should never take them as the norm or stop struggling to resist white philosophy.Its never too late to right a wrong. Thats what I mean by white philosophy. Its weird and full of paper thin excuses. You cant help me get rights I am already granted by the constitution and god. All you can do is use your influence to make sure your fellow whites dont trample on those rights. Telling me basically I should be grateful for very slow almost non existent progress does nothing for me or my people.What kind of cognitive dissonance does it take for whites to believe that people that were minding their own business in Africa were actually invading, oppressing, and stealing land? You do realize you cant change such a mindset without causing mental damage right? Believing that whites are exactly what they have show us to be isnt being an asshole. Its simply a defense mechanism used to protect oneself from believing most whites are really good people no matter what their history and present behavior shows us. Remember Drumpf was supported by racists and most of the white population.
I dont bother. I concentrate on waking up Black people to reality.
Kind of late to do much about the slaves that were captures a couple hundred years ago. I believe the moral thing to do is to finally help their descendants to gain the rights they deserve today. I'm sorry you don't think that's enough.
Never said you should be grateful. This is as much about me doing what I know is the moral thing to do as it is about you. Like I said, Fuck you if you don't get that.
When I was a kid, there were separate bathrooms. Black folk couldn't have a meal in restaurants. Your grandfather was called BOY, and he knew what would happen if he acted like he didn't like it. Things are better. I never said how many white people were racist, only that I will treat a man like a man regardless of his skin color, and I will call him an ass hole if he is an ass hole no matter what color he is. I'm sorry for your experiences, but I can't fix that. All I can do is stand up when I see someone being mistreated. That doesn't mean I will kiss your ass because you're pissed at someone else.
