What you are feeling is called empathy. It is the ability to see the other persons, (or in this case group of peoples) point of view. It is completely normal, and I wish more white people had it. It's not just about Ferguson, and what's happening up there, but about unarmed black people being gunned down at an unprecedented rate all over this country. If black people try to explain why they feel like they do, there's always some white people talking about "they're just playing the race card", to shut the conversation down. I just heard on the news today about some "patriotic" group of white people armed with assault weapons are up in Ferguson to "help" the police. Can you imagine what would happen if a group of black people, armed to the teeth showed up to "help" the police at a white protest? The only way this can end peacefully in this country, is if the justice system get off it's ass and starts to prosecute these murderers that just so happen to wear badges, just like any other civilian that commits the same crime.
Is it normal that I hate myself for being white
