I hear you.

But I have to wonder... isn't the power they assumed illusionary power? The abuse they have learned and internalized? Of course, I ain't gone think of it like that, but after I curse 'em out and get on with my bad self, I might think about it with a calmer mind and realize that they are acting out what the oppressor has acted out against them.

There are Black people who do this same thing against other Black people, for that matter. I don't think of it as racism as much as being lost and acting out of something that doesn't belong to them.

Know what I mean?

Get back to me, please.

Peace,
