(1,846 posts)Of course black people are free to hate white people, but to what end?
Yes, white people have done nothing AS A GROUP to make black people like them and trust them.
NONE OF THAT MATTERS!!!!!
What matters is how we move forward together. We are all Americans. Here in America, it is individual people that can bring social change to entire groups of people.
If we can't put down the hate, resentment, call it what you will...that drips from this meaningless post, nothing will change.
I don't care what other white people do. What matters is how I treat people, how I teach my children to treat people. That's what I can do to make a a difference.
If people teach their children that it's fine to hate white people and that they've never done anything to make blacks trust or like them that's their business....but they will sadly be continuing a legacy of distrust that makes this country a little worse a place to live.
Put down the broad brush...it adds nothing to the discussion.
