I'm not saying this. Maybe you just typed it wrong. I'm saying if you are a victim you are going to feel a certain way about the person who victimized you, you can call it hate or whatever. But if you like detective shows, you look at the person who commits the crime, figure out that person's motive. Like if you start a fire, you have to expect smoke, why was the fire set is the more important question.

I believe if you don't understand white supremacy then any understanding of its effects will be specious.

Not sure I understand the question. How about this, if the question, do Blacks hate whites can be answered with the assumption because of racism then we should naturally understand why whites are racist. I think to look at it any other way is racist, because it protects the criminal institution of white supremacy.

How about this. During slavery, the slaves that ran away was diagnosed as being mentally deranged for leaving the plantation. All the attention was placed on the slave, and if he ran away it should be obvious because he/she wanted freedom. The real question is, why are you enslaving someone, and how do you become so racist to think something is wrong with someone because they want freedom.
