In reply to the discussion: White People KNOW Very Well ONE Thing... [View all]The Mouth
(3,320 posts)I've never had a Black person lay me off, lay off 100's of people, close down a business.
I've never had a Black person trying to scam me and my family after my dad died
I've never had a Black cop terrify the shit out of me when I was pulled over
I've never heard of a Black person starting a war for oil.
I sure as the fuck have experienced white people doing all that.
The only shit I've ever gotten from Black people was when I sucked ass at playing Chicago blues (cause I was a white rock kid).
If I get pulled over by the cops, or go for a job interview, or have some other kind of important interaction, I've no reason to be uneasy.
I have no doubt that the percentage of assholes, sociopaths, and creeps is exactly the same regardless of skin colour, but my experiences have let me to trust other white folks no more than Blacks, Latinos, or Asians.
You know who the people who are 'uneasy' around black people? The white folks who have never had to pull their own weight, or compete equally, who think they get a pass but know they aren't up to snuff.
Just My observation.
