You see, the problem is not with being born black; it's being raised white.
I actually kinda agree with this, but for a completely different reason. and this is from experience.
we are raised to treat everybody equally, martin luther king said judge not by the color of the skin, but by the character.
yet in their community they are taught by their parents and community, that they can never be as good.
because they are not white. while their peers that escape the bonds placed on them.
prove they can do just as well, and better. then anyone else, regardless. (labeled sellouts and uncle toms and worse. by those who choose to remain enslaved to their known community)
that is a cycle that has to be broken with in their community.
no out side influence will be able to change it.
Daunte's mother is white and I'm not going to pretend that white trash can do any better of a job of raising a child then a black person, or that color played a factor in any of what happened in this case. It's the black people playing the race card on these cases trying to push a social agenda on people. As far as black people being raised white is similar to the saying it's easy to take somebody out of the ghetto, but it's hard to take the ghetto out of somebody. Look what they did to the native Americans when they tried to take the Indian out of them in boarding schools. However at one time all nationalities had to adapt to assimilate, some did better then others. Most of what drives the current issues of black people is pop culture. Movies, music, peers, BLM, propaganda, poor parenting leading to future poor parenting, poor money management, disrespect. The black community has to address these problems, giving them hand outs to do so will only lead to more hand outs and abuse. Change the "black culture" what they see in movies, listen to in music, their image that they need to be gang bangers, then maybe they can fit into the American fabric. They say they want "equal rights" but to them that means the rights of whites+ special rights to fit them= black rights. To me that does not add up to "equal".
LOL.. I wonder if you take the time to understand what you write.. while I agree with a lot of what you wrote. the way you wrote can be viewed as offensive by those who actually lived it.
I said I speak from experience, because I shared a similar back ground, of being called white trash, white bread, gringo (no it is not just a term meaning a white person, it is a slur)( this H word for whites was blocked so I edited to remove it), red neck, hick ECT...
I could just as easily have been trapped by believing it was "THE MANS FAULT" that I had to live the way I did. because I was just like others that was raised not knowing better. it was not until I left the fields of california, and started working at a nursery, that I learned.. different.
yes, it is hard letting go of what you know to be true. when you find out that it was all a lie. it takes time to come to terms with it. and some people never fully make the adjustment.
I dont know his mother, she could be a verry decent person who did the best she could. I'm sure she probably did.
for all I know she came from a good home in a good neighbor hood. but was taught that women were inferior, and her job in life was to be a good wife and raise kids.
even people that meant well in the 60's and 70's . did not understand they were causing harm. Martin Luther King taught us to rise up and show our worth as equals regardless of skin color.
while others in the movement taught that we should hate back, and blame others for holding us back and to blame what we are, not who we are for our failings.
so that we could be trapped and be able to be controlled through that hatred and miss trust.
people that are not taught to recognize their victory's will never achive them, and people who dont study their history. are doomed to repeat it.
and if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem.
