In reply to the discussion: "That awkward moment when I realized my white “liberal” friends were racists" [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)43. Nothing pessimistic about it
given the ongoing truth of racist american culture, it's a certified fact that in 230 years, america has not conquered it's racist demon. Each generation has bred it's hardcore cadre of racist and it continues as evidenced by 47% voting for romney and the repubthugs who have made no secret of hating that man in the white house because he is black. America is doomed to suffer hate, ignorance, murder and executions of unarmed POC until the cows come home and after searching far and wide for them, they are no where to be seen. I REALLY agree with the last line of your post. No truth was ever spoken more quietly and eloquently.

Where have I been most of your life? On the sidelines with all the other racially ignorant folks.
