Racism Against Whites
Racism against African Americans has been a major problem almost since time immemorial. There have even been civil wars in the United States over it. Fortunately, our society has largely moved away from the huge manifestations of racism, although there is still work to be done. But is there such a thing as a backlash against the Europoid (white people)?
Imagine this. You go to a store, you meet an African-American family, and they start cursing at you, laughing, and yelling so that the whole street can hear. Everyone probably thinks you did something wrong. You can\’t say anything to protect yourself because if you open your mouth, they will just call you a racist. Let\’s say you somehow manage to shake this bad experience off and forget about it. But what if this happens at a job that supports you and your family? You don\’t like your co-worker, he calls you a racist, and you\’re in big trouble.
Of course, your dislike of whites is justified, but you can\’t do what your ancestors did. Certainly there are still strong racists, but their numbers are dwindling and they are very few. 90% of the population probably doesn\’t care who has what skin color, as long as they don\’t try to exploit it to gain some “advantage or privilege”
even though they have committed no crime, basically for no reason. I am sure you have heard about the great brutality and aggression of police officers against African Americans who are handcuffed for basically no reason, even though they have committed no crime. Society would benefit greatly if people came to perceive themselves ashumanbeings
rather than as several different races (Latino, African American, European, etc.). It won\’t take away from your past. And most importantly, you are just a human being, nothing more, nothing less.
Of course, there are always those who find the slightest reason not to like someone because of what they cannot do, or worse, what their parents raised them to do. It\’s very sad, but as human beings we need to start understanding each other, not just ourselves.
