I wish we could all live in harmony, judgment free. Perhaps we will achieve it in the future, as more and more people continue to become progressive like they are now. We may not see this during our lifetime, but I think things are slowly getting better as more people become intolerant of hatefulness.
I am not black myself—im white Hispanic, technically—but i agree with you. It's very sad. |
I agree with you. I hope that in my grandkids lifetime there is change. All this summer different states Black people have been harassed at their complex swimming pool. They were smart and recorded the whole thing. Then put in on FB. But basically a white tenant that pays rent just like they do would walk up to them and say “I’ve never seen you before let me see your lease”. Then the white tenants in EACH case would call the police. The police would have the Black tenants provide that they were actual tenants! The last video I saw happened in Memphis, TN. I do not understand why it bothers some white people to see minorities enjoying theirselves. If do not want to swim with minorities join a country club.
