I, too, have had many ignorant and racist things to say regarding the state of race relationship in America in my youth, but the last few years and everything that has been going on has really shaken me from my ignorant perception. I finally understand why black people get angry when a white face tells them how to deal with racism, ie. "offer a loving hand", "not all white people are bad", "black people are racist too", "black people call each-other by the n word all the time", etc etc. It's all bullshit and it should all be spat at. I used to say all that dumb shit and now I just feel stupid and betrayed by the establishment and education system that was supposed to make me into a honorable man. This system is corrupt and it treats black people like trash. Black lives clearly do not matter and I don't understand how such a primitive and asinine perception can still reign in 2015. I do not have a single doubt of that anymore. It's at the point where I would volunteer to get punched in the face for some of the dumb shit I used to spew.
On the flip side, I am amazed at the patience black people have shown. This past year, I swear, I was expecting black people to lose their minds. All those killings, all that injustice, being blamed for your own murders, being murdered on fucking camera, snipers pointed at mothers holding babies protesting the killing of innocent black people, and still, you took it on the chin. I do not doubt that black people are the most forgiving on the planet. I don't know how you continue to take so much shit and still keep trying to make it in a system that clearly does not give a fuck about you. You have given the world the best music, culture, and made America cool, not only that, you build this country on your backs, and to this day, they.do.not.give.a.fuck.about.you. How do you do it? Black people, you are amazing, and if you need to punch someone in the face, punch me. ~Experience is the currency of the soul.
