Black People : Trying to learn

[john54]

I personally would not overthink using plural nouns. I do it as well when describing groups of people. It's all about context in which you are using.

I'd like to know what and when is white people's "own time"? Haven't they had enough time?

You're right, white people have had more than enough time and at the expense of every other demographic. There's some really really hard truth white people just don't see though. At least I don't know anyone who seems to have rid themself of racism. Can I ask, is there a white speaker or author you would say overcame his/her own racism? It seems like white people can only keep guessing away at what racism is and we keep getting it wrong. While everyone else pays the price

The Current Democratic Win.. is like a relief valve. Many reported this, like we can See and Breathe just a bit better. Now Focus
For four years we have been holding our breath.. hoping something better was on the horizon..
It is hard to focus if you don't breath.

Hmmm...a white person who overcame their racisim?

I don't think so...unless they ripped out their DNA.

I think racism is embedded in white people. It would take many years to breed it out of them...just jokes (kind of).

There's a couple of white people who are "well-known" that advocate anti-racism, like Jane Elliot and Tim Wise. But I don't track them like that.

All I know is that when push comes to shove, white are capable of becoming possessed by their antebellum ancestors.
