I was just pushing the conversation forward. Just general discussion.

I work around and interact with white people everyday and im cool with them for the most part.

But there are injustices going on in this country everyday that they don't have to think about that i do.

And no i wouldn't browbeat a person into agreeing with me but its silly to think black folks initiating handshakes will have any impact on eradicating racism. And i thought that was what Common was implying, even if he was just trying to be pc.
