I'm curious your thoughts on my answer
"What we want is to not turn on the TV, see a nikka getting shot in the back, and then having to go on Facebook and see a dead man's name and dignity dragged through the mud because most white Americans can't possibly side against a blue-eyed hero against a black skinned villain."
Let's talk about specific cases, cuz this statement is way too vague. I don't see how you expect white people to side with Trayvon. I see how you expect white people to side with the black guy that was actually shot in the back on phone video (cant remember his name), and honestly they have. My problem is you lumping these two types of cases together, where there is definitely a question of whether self defense was warranted, to another case where its obvious it wasn't. So while white people are against police brutality, sometimes you try to say police brutality exists where it doesn't, and if they disagree with that you call them racist and insinuate they are for black people getting shot in the back...
It's hard for me to tell who is right, I think both sides have liars and truth tellers, cops and poor black people. I don't think its the case that the police force is a white superiority organization in disguise. I also don't think that they are perfect and not significantly racist in many cities (IE baltimore). MY problem is you make everything black and white. Any time someone black dies from a cop, he HAD to be innocent, it couldn't possibly have been self defense! Like all the people marching before any of the evidence comes out in the Mike Brown trial etc.
"acknowledging that there is a systematic difference between the way that the races are treated"
I acknowledge that. I just don't agree with your conclusion that this justifies treating white's as guilty of something that happened long before they were even breathing.
"e just want the same exact respect when you look in our eyes (as men) that you give another white man."
You only get respect where you give it. Thats all white people want to, the vis-versa, for black peope to stop treating them any differently than they would another black guy, but, to be honest, its black people who are far more hesitant to respect someone of a different race in this way than white people are.Do you ever hear white people saying 'stop taking our culture', when black people play video games? Have you ever heard black people say that about hip hop?
I do show this kind of respect, and most of the time I get it back from blacks, but definitely NOT on this site. Yall hate me cuz im white, solely because im white.
"the same wages, educational opportunities, and most importantly JUSTICE" the problem is this will never happen as long as people are just competing on different race teams. blacks will try to use the government to fukk over whites. whites will do the same to blacks.I think the only solution is to have a color blind government that helps people based on their poverty level, and has no way of knowing their skin color, IE Ron Paul's platform.
Anything else I didn't respond to I basically agree with.
