Its mostly the white liberals not the ones down south though
...the old cacs are.....we need them to die off
they are the most progressive and educated ones who understand in a way that they have privilege but believe in equality
you know how many young whites fought to put Pres O in office. The young whites of our generation for the most part are not the problem...the old cacs are.....we need them to die off
The hippies of the 60's are those "old cacs" of today.
Progressives and Conservatives are one in the same. Those same whites who fought hard to put a Biracial president in office are working hard to ensure minorities don't move in their neighborhoods. The same ones gentrifying neighborhoods. When they turn 40 and have kids of their own, the lines will be drawn clear for you.
man honestly this whole situation make me feel like im surrounded by something thats not natural
no way white people can be this evil....how is this possible?
i seen some of the foulest shyt go on in Detroit with black on black crime....but shyt like this man is on another level
There is no way around it: it is just gut-wrenchingly, mind-numbingly, sickening. Unlike many white parents of white children, but very much like many black parents of black children, I had talked about Trayvon’s story regularly with Kyle and Owen from the time we had first heard about his being killed and throughout the past many months. One of the privileges of whiteness and raising white kids is the ability to categorically protect the “innocence” and “naiveté” of white youth where all things race and racial and radicalized and racism are concerned. When you’re raising black boys in a culture where black boys can be killed in broad daylight and the killer can walk free… well… then, it is a whole different story. It would be ruthlessly irresponsible for us to not educate our sons and be honest with them about the way this world works. And do you know how hard that is? Do you know how hard it is to look your child in the eye and explain to them that the Trayvon Martin case verdict came back Not Guilty? If you’re white, raising white kids, then most likely, you don’t. Just imagine having to have that conversation with your precious, beautiful, full-of-potential children. It is impossibly sickening.
The fact is, what makes me most sick — as a white parent right now — is knowing how many white folks out there did not talk truthfully about the Trayvon Martin case with their white kids today. I am, after all, white. I have spent a lot of time around white people. I know, firsthand, how very privileged they are. And I know, firsthand, how very unaware they are of their privilege, and how adamantly they refuse — in a daily sort of way — to take apart their privilege. Until privilege is dismantled — in all its forms — the tragedies and travesties and truly horrific and sickening realities of being a black boy wearing a hoodie in this country won’t end. Disadvantage, injustice, racialized oppression in all forms… it is structurally embedded. Until the flip side — the white privilege — is fundamentally deconstructed, we’ll keep on having to explain to our black sons how wearing a hoodie could get them killed.
But see I don't know why people are acting surprised though. I think maybe because this trial was soo publicized. I live down south and when a white person don't like you they don't hide it. And in my opinion those are the best ones because it's not fake.
