When I lived in LA I had a good friend and work colleague that I paid to do works for me around my house. He moved me several times, did plumbing repairs, moved furniture etc. He was a big black man, older, friendly, gregarious and kind, loved that guy! He was a good friend.
One day in December we went together to the local hardware store to pick up materials for a small project and as usual, he was flirting with the young woman at the cash register.
He says to her 'So young lady, is Santa gonna be good to you this year?"
She replied back to him
'Oh honey please, you know ain't no fat old rich white man gonna come to my hood for christmas!"
It's distrust you see, by the people in the BLM. After centuries of slavery, torture, discrimination, racism, murder and every other atrocity and humiliation, and even with a black man in the White House, little is changed, and it's too little, too late. Now, suddenly the switch is flipped and they're supposed to trust The White Man?
I understand the sentiment and anger, and it makes me angry that PoC still have to do battle every single day against ignorant, racist asshats. It's just not right. Maybe all rich old white men look the same to a lot of people.....
