I didn't know about this event, it sounds horrific. But does it really change my perception of racism as it stands? No.
People of all skin colors and religions do ****** up ****. Doesn't make it okay to kill people or ignore the past, but it's just an endless cycle that doesn't solve the problems we have now. Yes black people still don't have the same things white people have, but at the same time, there are things black people have that white people don't have either. None of us are born into a world with equal possessions, but we all share the same physiology. We all need to be compassionate to each other regardless of the body we are born into. The question that needs to be asked every moment is: How are we going to try and do right by the people we have now?
Pent-up hatred has never served me well in my life. Sometimes I think these race threads are brought up not to educate people about the past, but to stir up anger in our emotions.
