Kobe Bryant dead from Helicopter crash

[Shell B]

Black people don't have that luxury. for example, I live in and open carry state and white people are able to open carry all up in the grocery store, do you think it'd be a good idea for me to live my life completely uncaring of race and do the same?

No. I asked you to imagine being someone who doesn't care about race. I don't at all suggest that black people have that luxury, though I think they probably do in some areas.

Do you believe that the Jews should not have gotten reparations also?

Jews who were alive during the Holocaust and were harmed by it should, yes. People who were never slaves should not get reparations for slavery from people who never owned slaves. That sets a crazy precedent where we can all go after societies around the globe for historical grievances belonging to our ancestors.

Why are you taking what I said personally?

I'm not. What aren't you addressing my point? I know, but not personally in the way you would, that being black leads to lots of racial profiling and worse. Still, that doesn't change the fact that it makes white people who aren't racist feel icky when someone suggests white people are by default racist or every time we disagree with you it has something to do with race. It's like you can't imagine that one of us lighter toned folk wasn't even thinking about Kobe being black while talking about his life.
