I'm a 71 year old white male.

I'm pretty sure that if I had been born a black male and had to put up with the crap they have had to I would be either dead or in prison, most likely dead.

Obviously you have no qualms about personally attacking another poster and making unfounded accusations for no other reason than you disagree with what was posted.

Exactly what [crap] do they have to put up with?

It means I'm done talking to you.
 
Look. I go out every day and see people of all colors interacting peacefully and politely. I see lots of bi-racial couples and bi-racial children. Now. Do I still see color? I do. Does my daughter.? Well, not the same way I do, for sure. It's one of the first things I see. It's probably last on her list. And here's the important thing. It really doesn't matter to either of us. AT ALL. And I don't think it's unusual. Race is being used by certain people as a wedge, and a hammer. In my daily life, I just don't see it. Are there examples of people being unkind possibly being based on race? Maybe, especially if you're looking for it to be that. But it could just as easily be ill treatment because someone's being a jerk. So I think if we gave it half a chance, it would go away almost entirely.
 
It's very easy to find a white person that will tell you there is little or no racism in America.

There are literally millions of them.

and it is just as easy to find a black person to tell you how unfair life is.....and how tough they have it.

Yes. And it's almost just as easy to find white people who shrug and say "everybody is racist". :rolleyes:

And, it's also relatively easy to find white people who say "if you black people would just do as you're told there wouldn't be a problem.". :rolleyes: Many think it, but quite a few come out and say it...here at SF and elsewhere.

And if they would indeed follow the law...their reported problems would be fewer.

....all they need do is behave, obey the law, work & pay taxes .....just like the rest of us.

It would be true…in a nice world

Unfortunately, here on earth, some behind the badge, or in authority, interpret ‘the law’ a bit differently for those of another color.
I found this so in the south, over fifty years ago.

I could be quite explicit as to events I witnessed, but it serves no purpose here.

As this thread has proved my take on threads concerning race issues;
Nobody does a forehead slap, and reverses their thinking.
They just state their stance….over…and over….and over again.

I would like to think there are less racists these days
…I would like to

Can't
