Why is talking about race so divisive? [View all]

[sheshe2]

Or so it is said.

We can stop the divisive talk right now. No longer speak of your time at Starbucks. Do not barbecue. No sleeping in your dorm. Do not walk, talk or use a stroller to take your child out. Do not buy Skittles or ice tea. By no means ever speak of the black men, women and children that have died within a nanosecond of an encounter with a police/peace officer or your friendly neighborhood watchman that are there to save you from your white fears. Take no offence of be described as a thug, you are black after all. And the children...8-10 years old are considered an adult while black, whites are considered children. Yet take no offense. If you do you are being divisive.

Just stop! Some white people just don't want to hear what black people are saying. Point in fact, EffieBlack and I applaud this woman for her patience and even temperament addressing that which needs to be said. Listen, just listen and learn. I do and so should you.


There is a season...
