This is a long post but read it if you want to… and I’m serious this time… not being sarcastic.
I think it helps if someone that isn’t white chimes into this.
I’m not black but I’m asian.
When I came to Canada when I was 13, I was made fun of because I was asian… this was in elementary school…
Went into highschool and it was the same thing…i got into a lot of fights but thankfully I could hold my ground and never got my ass kicked even though all odds were against me. It kind of stopped by the time I got to Grade 11/12 as people became more mature.
That was a different kind of racism though…it was more of a hate thing than a joke.
Anyways, the point I’m trying to get across is that this email is a different type of racism.
It is not spreading hate but rather, some facts that are meant to “wake” up white people. I highly doubt some white dude is going to read it and then go out and shoot a bunch of black guys.
All of you can deny it if you want…but we are ALL racist whether you like it or not. It is just human nature.
Yeah, we might be more educated but that violence and hatred will always be in us. People deny it because we are a lot more educated today and are taught that racism is wrong.
It’s just like sex…you can grow up in a very sheltered life and taught that sex isn’t good for you but you will still probably have the urges. It’s instinct.
Why do you think there was so much more violence back in the day between different races when people weren’t as educated?
We are all racists. It’s whether or not you are open about it.
I will say that I’m racist and I can be racist at times. Even against my own kind.
But I won’t go out there and kill someone just for their colour.
