>> whether whitey wants to believe it or not, it really is “them” and “us”
You can put this whiteboy down in the “believes it” column.
I might be the last one, but I didn’t realize that there was such resentment/jealousy/hatred in the black community against whites! I really didn’t. I grew up in an environment that didn’t see themselves better or worse than anyone else..., simply liking people if they were decent and not liking those who weren’t. Now, I see, I chose to ignore the signals... signals such as my black co-workers taking on a separate “language” when I wasn’t a part of the discussion; eye rolling to each other in a group of mixed colors... little things I should have seen as a deliberate act to “stay separate”.
I still chose my friends by their belief systems, not by color... and after seeing the past 2 years... actually beginning with the OJ trial, it has been slapped in my face.
Y.T. McWhiterson here, and I'll have to second it.
Waht a pity, it’s not like whites WANT this sort of trouble.
You got it.
