I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to jump into this conversation because a conversation about racism just never seems to go well... Ever! But I will give it a shot and try to remain as objective as possible.
From what I have seen, everyone is arguing based on their beliefs, their truths, their shoes, that their opinion is probably fact.
My experience in life shows me every race has the potential to contain a few racist persons, doesn't matter our background or colour, we all have history, every race has a story or struggle.
It is when we try to compare struggles or place blame on those who we believe are the cause of our struggles, we end up with racism because everyone is arguing they suffered greater.
I would never tell anyone to be proud of their race or to detest it. I would tell them to be proud of themselves, who they are and of how they look regardless of colour.
We should never ignore history bit we shouldn't let it blind us or lead us either. Why not just judge someone on their personality or the way they treat the persons around them as an individual instead of forcing them to represent their race? We are all individuals, are we not? Should we carry the burden of our race in everything we do? Is that the life we want for ourselves, our families, the weight of our entire race?
I was considering putting my race, but I'm not speaking for my race I'm speaking for me.
Is it normal To think black people are the most racist of all?
