re: Racial division worst I’ve ever seen

I just don’t see the tension personally

I don;t see it either, but I do feel something.. As an example... I will open the door for a woman or anyone really for that matter.. No matter what color or race...

When I see a black person... I make sure that I open the door for her/him and make sure I add a Hello or have a good day... I make sure that I go the extra mile to show that white folk think of them as equal and want to be kind. These people are mostly older.

But, when I see a bunch of young black folk with their pants sagging down, Red or blue hats that say Oakland and they are turned sideways, wearing a black lives matter t-shirt and about 30 gold chains, and a hoodie on in 101* heat.

I usually just try to shy away and stay vigilant to my surroundings.

Seeing countless videos of black on white violence, looting and robberies can really make me angry and question everything I’m trying to believe about race relations.

Now that.. My frustration there is that I see it. You see it. Black folk see it, The media sees it. Politicians see it. But nobody wants to talk about it. Instead they try to spin it around that somehow it is White people's fault.


A prime example.

Q: Why were people rioting after George Floyds death? <--- Problem
A: Because of Derek Chauvin. <--- White Guys fault.
