For the most part, I agree with your article. I recommend you read my article on this site entitled I DON’T KNOW ANY BLACK PEOPLE.

Whites have been oppressed by many others throughout history, as far back as the Romans invading the British Isles in 45 BC.

You yourself talk as a racist, not as a community leader, stop being the victim and man up to your peoples own behaviour. Do you see white culture celebrating gang culture? Do you see white culture buying “bling” instead of moving out of poverty? Think twice next time you’re spending your months rent on that 24K diamond earing and maybe try going to college and entering the workforce. The black people I work with don’t complain about Whitey, the only black people I see complaining about oppression are the ones with no ambition, the ones who sell drugs and commit crime and complain of oppression due to legally and being found guilty. A black man with an education and ambition has the same opportunities as a white man, and in some cases is cut more slack due to racial aggressions from generations ago. Find a different racial identifier than thug hip hop music and worshiping diamonds and rust.

To each their own.

I’ve been married for 33 years to an African-American woman. Am I a racist enslaver? I suppose you wouldn’t want me for a brother-in law.

Understanding our diversity might be a way to break some of the holds on some minds in terms of thinking about best strategies. We are just not all alike, and if you approach us as though we are all alike, you will miss out on a whole lot of possibilities. (Minister Farrakhan understands that we are diverse.)

To take an analogy from the peace movement, my friends and I can barely stay for the speeches after the white male bashing gets going. This leaves the weak, passive, silly-minded white males to help out in the peace movement. No one of any dignity stays around when they are defined or described as a clone of an entire group.

Having said that, the diverse white Americans do house close-minded people who cannot even see the social problems that afflict us in an over-represented way like tobacco addiction, binge drinking, and meth abuse. Those are just three of the serious problems the diverse white Americans face in American society in 2014 in an over-represented way as a demographic.

When all is said and done, the members of each demographic affinity group do end up having to do the planning and the working for the advancement of their own kin…but that doesn’t mean we can’t cooperate on this or that issue which would establish more bonds, more insights, and more understanding. We can live our own lives determined by our own cultures, but for the rough spots it would be a good thing to have friends in every demographic affinity group. Well, that’s what I keep telling white people.

Well said, “If you are loved by your own people, then you don’t need the racist down the hallway to think you’re a good guy.”
