“It’s not the color but the culture.
BUMP! I am old enough to remember when blacks and whites got along fine since they shared the same culture.
Yes, and politics is downstream from the culture. That is one of the many reasons why we are in so much trouble.
I was raised in a predominantly white area. The few black families I went to school with we’re rock solid. Educated, hard working, 2 married parents, church attending families.
I am sure it was difficult for those kids to attend school where they were so outnumbered - but they didn’t show it.
They went on to college and are very successful.
So I was raised actually believing blacks are “just like us”
Later on a coworker told me I was racially naive because I had no understanding of inner city urban blacks.
I suppose this is true. Of course, I don’t have much of an understanding of inner city urban - anything.
It isn’t race - it’s culture. And they are trying to lump it all into one racial identity.
