I can’t understand how anyone is shocked by this essay...This is stuff i’ve known since about the 7th grade...but i’m a white southern male in the deep south...what the hell do i know??? I could have wrote this essay in about the 10th grade....Hate it for good black folks i know...but they won’t dare speak up...Race trumps Jesus and don’t you forget it!
I agree on all points. It's all too easy for folks who don't live in areas with sizeable black populations to dismiss the essay as racist propaganda. Those of us who live in the South have experienced it.
I have plenty of stories. I was in junior high in the late seventies, and I remember the crowds of feral black kids. They took delight in going after white kids. I remember taking off a new sweater and laying it down; a black kid grabbed it and blew her nose on it, and her friends burst out in loud laughter. My husband's sister had to learn how to fight to defend herself from blacks. You had to be careful what you said to them, because they would explode over nothing. They would corner white kids and taunt them, sometimes attack them.
The problem isn't skin color; it's culture. There are some blacks who manage to escape the thug culture, or who grow up with two parents who raise them to be decent, normal human beings. But the hard truth is this----the majority of blacks carry enormous chips on their shoulders, and they go around looking for a reason to hate whitey.
