What’s worse, experiencing an incident of racism, or inflicting a lifetime of “hate whitey” rhetoric on innocents simply because they share the same skin color? The solution to racism is not more racism.
Agree. The problem is the lack of recognition that things don’t stay the same - they change.
We see this in all walks of life. For example the music industry has a hard time seeing things as they exist in 2011 as opposed to how they were in the 60s.
While it might be a stretch to compare attitudes towards race with those towards music and the purchasing of same, but the common denominator is the refusal to accept that things change over the course of 50 years, sometimes in very dramatic fashion.
Another example might be the Polish Cavalry leading charges into German Blitzkreig columns. What worked in 1870 ain’t gonna cut it in 1939.
