Hey, but isn't it shunned to identify people for their skin color in the US and in this forum?
Say, for example, something I've noticed is that, when a thread, say for a crime or something else, one person is quick to point that the person involved was black and then everybody, well not everybody, but a lot of folk will come out and say something like "well, it has nothing to do with skin color and blah blah blah" basically reiterating the main point that the lady in the first 2 videos was trying to make, that people choose not to see color out of their own convinience, no?
Idk, as an immigrant, when I came to the US as a young boy, I never met a black person in my life prior to the first 2 days out in the city, I was like woah, he's black, more surprised and curious than anything, then he started speakign spanish and i was blown away haha, but then as I got older and stuff, it's like shunned to point out that people are of certain color, granted it comes with the intentions behind it, but still to this day, I feel something I don't have to be feeling which is feeling like I'm wrong by pointing out that a person is black or that a person is brow, like wtf, that's his skin color, am I supposed to ignore it and say some hypocrite **** like "oh i see no color hurr durr." If someone told me that, I would feel like I just go slapped in the face. why? because the skin color of my skin is part of who am I am, and I'm okay with that, I feel no shame to walk in my shoes, I feel no shame in pointing skin color and accepting that person for being who they are, wtf are they gonna do, go an buy a new skin color?
Like, idk, i understand it's behind the intentions, but at the same time its kinda paradoxical in America 1 if you point out the skin color, youre a racist or somethign. If you turn a blind out to it, then you're a closet racist, like what?
