The real deal is we may be in the middle of a second civil rights movement but people dont want to acknowledge it.
The 60s civil rights movement was in no way perfect, there were groups that went extremely violent, not just the police.
I completely understand the sentiment as when I first came on this board, I asked the question of people on this board:
Who would you rather be born as and now getting ready to make a life for yourself in the US?
1. A black female
2. A white male.
Explain your reasoning. Thats when I found out some people NEVER leave their computer and dont experience the world around them in this country.
I live in South Texas. I have personally seen all kinds of actions other people are subject to that I never had thrown at me because I am an in shape, white male. That includes all the fat comments I "used" to hear at salad bars when fat people got up to eat. When you personally get a perfectly innocent black colleague and his family out of trouble with the police solely because you are white... and all the other ... Ive seen too much.
