How do you know unless you have actually lived your life as a black person? This is the very least you can do, to shut up and listen and learn.
Learn what? That a coach is a racist for giving the better player the last shot? Why am I not allowed to use my brain to decide whether something makes sense or not? If two black people are giving me different opinions, which one do I listen to and learn from? I don't think you've thought this through very well. 81 percent of black Americans want either more or the same amount of police presence in their community https://www.newsweek.com/81-black-americ...ll-1523093 Do I listen and learn from these black people, or do I listen and learn to the people saying to defund the police? Please explain because I'm lost here.
A decrease in racism seems to lead to the appearance of more racism. This is why white people appear to be the least racist or the most colourblind as some would put it. We've not suffered nearly as much at the hands of other groups, at least recently in history, so we have less of a grievance with other races. Blacks have suffered from a great deal of racism and mistreatment historically, which has lead them to be hyper vigilant. Of course we shouldn't be against black people just because many of them are wrong though. Their communities and schools should be given heavy investment. Hopefully some day we will have more of an understanding of each other and we will be able to unite more as human beings.
