He's angry at the white man.
No need to encourage him by responding to the boys posts.

It's not the victim role if it is actually true.

Please clarify

What parts of his statement do you declare as truth?

Thanks

I am not angry at the white man, but I do wish you all the worst the world has to offer.

What reparations do you deserve? Were you a slave?

White people will forever act as if there is no blood on their hands. They killed off the Native Americans and oppressed the black, but its a matter of personal responsibility as to why blacks are doing bad. Never mind the fact whites have made it their lives a living hell since they stepped foot in America.


Brother, it's 2015. Those people are all dead. Move on.

The country could benefit from some cohesiveness.

I get it that we are only a few generations removed from slavery, and learning about that in school, and going home to talk to your parents about it is likely difficult for a black kid growing up. I get that it's something I'll never understand. But I also think that at some point you have to realize no one left on the planet played any part in any of that. We'd like to move on too and I'm disgusted at my ancestors.

I didn't do anything. The fact that LSH can say that I, as a white man, have blood on my hands is unreasonable. I've never done anything to anyone.

Yep, you can't hold a grudge on something that people did a long time ago. I understand the frustration, but I don't wish bad things to happen to innocent people. If you want to point fingers, have you looked into the tribes in Africa that enslaved your and sent you to America? They started it.

Peace

You don't have to lift them up but you should be the very first to call them out. I say that because their actions are what cause people to be bigots and that has a direct effect on your life.

Get that logic out of here. We, as white people must fall prostrate in repentance for all the crimes that happened while none of us, or anyone we know was alive

I don't think so. I know the legal Mexicans out here used to get so fricking pissed at illegals because everyone would just assume they were illegal as well. Its the same shite. If I was a black man like you that did everything the right way I would be livid seeing the young thugs giving my race a bad name and the first to call them out. Whenever I see a trailer trash white kid doing some idiotic shite I am the first to call him out and most whites do the same, when black kids to crazy shite MOST of the educated blacks tend to make excuses for their behavior. It truly baffles me why excuses are made and their behavior is defended, MB and Trayvon are perfect examples.

The truth is that class - not race - is the biggest divider in the country.

A white man living in a trailer park will have more in common with a black woman living in the same trailer park. They shop at the same places, have the same level of education, and same opportunities.

Neither of them would have much in common with a black male investment banker who lives in trendy nolita.

Ok, what group of educated blacks make excuses for poor behavior of the uneducated blacks.

I cannot control the actions of other. Neither can you.

If somebody wants to use my race against me, then frick them.

I wish we could eliminate race and treat people on a case by case basis. Race only matters because we make it matter.

I will admit I don't have a lot of IRL experience with them, at least not in the last few years, but all of the black experts they put on the news make excuses rather than speak out against the behavior itself.

Of course not but if someone in my family was doing something to give my family a bad name I sure would talk to them about it.

Agreed, but if a large % of your race keeps showing up on the news, in social media, IRL etc doing this shite people will subconsciously do it.

I 100% agree everyone should be judged only on the content of their character.
