I agree with this to a point. I have a lotta tattoo's, and that's my choice, so when I get hassled by the cops for fitting a criminal profile and they search my car and all other kinds of shit, it does make me feel like "damn, black people go through this shit and didn't even have a choice in it". So, I do see the point. White guilt is rough though. You know how many times I've been on here and read some post like White PPL & Fear and think to myself, what the fuck is wrong with people? White people can't help the fact that we were born white any more than you can help the fact that you were born black. Having it shoved down my throat for 26 years that my anestors, blah, blah, blah doesn't help. If you want to address racism, that's great, I'm behind you 100% against that ill shit. If you want to say things about white people in general and group me into a category because of my skin color, that's fucked up. Since apparently you know what that feels like, you would think you wouldn't do it to other people. Point being, my ancestors may have been dumb ass crackers (actually they were Irish, so they were most likely identured servants or some shit), but I'm not. A bunch of wrongs don't make anything right, and none of this is productive at all.
