I understand that, but other than the few who have already been in my life and are tried and true, I just don’t have the time, patience, or energy anymore to “vet” new people, especially when more than once I, and people I know, have been burned by black people who purported to subscribe to “people are people”, but I learned otherwise in various ways. Now I just can’t and won’t be bothered, it’s already enough to have vet the new people one allows into their life on other factors, without adding hidden racial resentment to the mix. And it’s tiring and frustrating to walk on eggshells because when things like Ferguson come up, you learn that unless you buy into things like the “war on blacks” (criminals), you are a latent racist. I don’t defend white criminals, I’m certainly not going to make heroes of black ones.

I'm not, either. And on an individual interaction level, we never know what is in a person's heart, all we have to go on is what they say and do. I trust my surgeon with my life and I know from talking with him and his background that he has pulled himself up and avoided the victimization exploitation to rise to the high position he holds. Likewise his wife, who is a forensic pathologist. But I look at the black culture in this and other countries with a broader view and I can see how it had declined to the point of collapse and anarchy and almost imbued criminality and violence. That this also drags down, directly or indirectly, many fine individuals only adds to the tragedy and makes me want to oppose these race baiters and victimization hustlers all the more.
