People I call friends and consider family have personally attacked Me for talking about and addressing the history of the Man of Earth. Called me ungrateful, racist and black panther.. Like, what? When I look back at Our friendship and think about all those racist jokes, race insensitive comments, racial stereotypes and racial judgments made while in my presence it just makes me sick to my stomach. I didnt let it bother me then, but It sure as hell bothers me now. Its almost like them saying how dare you talk about the history of the white Man, after all weve done for you! Its ironic that after all that was said and all the comments made a black man get murdered, by a white cop. What was his crime? Did he deserve to get shot 6x? He was unarmed and surrendering? I dont understand, I know all things happen for a reason and his murder will serve its purpose, but why does someone have to die?... I think white man has a hard time looking in the mirror, I dont think they like whats in the reflection, because of their history. What you need to understand is, thats NOT WHO YOU ARE, YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT! YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR HISTORY. So when someone talks about the white mans history, dont get defensive and try to justify it, you will always be wrong. Instead, understand it and learn from it, dont assume position, and feel attacked. Show you are different, show you understand, because you are not responsible for what has happened, you cant change you pigment, but you can show your character isnt the same, as those who came before you.
