Dear white Facebook friends: I need you to respect what Black America is feeling right now

Salon ^ | Julia Blount

[Responsibility2nd]

please let me tell you what I hear:

I hear hopelessness
I hear oppression
I hear pain
I hear internalized oppression
I hear despair
I hear anger
I hear poverty

 

 

You hear these things? Fine. So do I. And we (White America) SEE them as well. But Julia, do you hear and see WHY these things are evident? Do you see that Obama, Holder, Sharpton, the media and popular culture has lead you down the garden path to hopelessness, oppression, pain, internalized oppression, despair, anger and poverty?

Do you see the black culture is the reason why you hear these things? With illegitimacy, ignorance and racial hatred as your core values? With liberal democrats keeping you enslaved with welfare and entitlements that are paid for by White America?

If I am indeed "perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy"; then it is because no other culture has or ever will create the standard by which we all have flourished and benefitted. Julia, get back with me when black thuggery and a hip-hop pants on the ground mentality begins to work. Then we in White America will start to take you seriously.

To the author: I’m not on facebook and I’m not your friend.

Respect is something you earn, sweetie. It’s not an anointing.

I was going to give my 2 cents but you summed it up quite nicely.

Google search “Freddie Gray's rap sheet” to find out what an outstanding citizen Freddie Gray was. Verified as TRUE by Snopes.

Then ask yourself why Baltimore is in flames?

[MuttTheHoople]

Uhhhhhhh....no.

If you see a post and look down to the source and see Solon it’s automatically going to be racist progressive BS. Every single time.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Well said

Well, we all have our crosses to bear. Perhaps someone could come up with some point system to measure oppression. I advise the young author of this piece to find something else to do - the racial grievance industry is fully staffed and does not pay well.

Julia,

“Black people” from India and other types of “Asian” people certainly don’t look or act like white people. Most cannot claim English as their first language. And yet they thrive here in the U.S.

Time to leave us “privileged” alone and start looking in the mirror.

“I feel, therefore I steal”. Doesn’t seem like an ingredient for a civilized society.

History with a certificate from the Center for African American Studies

There's something ineffably sad about someone proudly telling the world that they have 'a certificate from the Center for African American Studies'

For two years in a row the NYPD shows up randomly at the school you work at, which has a 100 percent minority

school you work at? Great job, Princeton!
