In reply to the discussion: Quick Question... Why should black people love white people? [View all]Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)473. Black men and women are getting shot down in the streets and have to deal with fucking racism every
single day. If we are outraged, don't you think we have a right to be?
And note: If you are not black, then you have absolutely no idea what we face on a daily basis. No idea at all!
So if we are angry or outraged, I believe we have many justified reasons for it, whether you agree or not.
