Tell us more Lester. Give us some things we can do tomorrow to fight this inequality.


What would you do?

The fact that black Americans are more than five times as likely to be incarcerated as white Americans is wrong.
The fact that black Americans are more than twice as likely to live in poverty as white Americans is wrong.
The fact that black unemployment rates nationally are double that of overall unemployment rates is wrong.
The fact that black imprisonment rates for drug charges are almost six times higher nationally than white imprisonment rates for drug charges is wrong.
The fact that black Americans own approximately one-tenth of the wealth that white Americans own is wrong.

To simple to realize what?

I have never judged a person or thought differently of someone due to their ethnicity or skin color. I was like one of six white kids on a college football team. I’ve seen dumb shite mentioned to friends of mine and said by idiots and that crap has no place in today’s society and I have no problem shutting it down when I see it, which I will note has not been a common reoccurrence.

I have always treated everyone as an equal and not as some figure that I need to feel guilty around because of some shite a white person did a hundred years ago or some racist bullshite that happened yesterday.

The people who scapegoat someone else are the ones who keep progress from moving forward. Instead of demanding an apology, it’s often times better to shake hands with your fellow man and move on.

ok. true. so why do you think their culture has its priorities backwards?

A myriad of reasons..

Broken homes, poor choices, etc... I could go on, but I’m not going to entertain you because you already know

The thing about this note that really throws me off is the narcissistic “look at me nature”. He could just as easily feel this privately (no issue if he feels this way - he is entitled to his opinion) and put things into practice but he felt it necessary to try to shame people by publishing something. Really odd.

have friends of all races. I'm a bonafide multi-culturist Lester. I'm not seeing what this has to do with fighting inequality though.

I don’t know if you have a problem or not. I just know you read the article wrong & your combativeness suggests you are not the ally you prob think you are.

If you’re not sure, ask them. Start with asking if they’ve ever felt discriminated against & go from there. If it’s truly someone you care about you’ll feel it.
