Really? A white male who has lots of priorities before social or racial issues are important to him? Everyone will just... treat you well if you are honest and hard working? Gee, you don’t say?
T, you seem to think that this simple approach of “just be good and everything will be fine” will work. It works less for people who do not control a lot of the important elements of our society, and many people of many minority groups have been shouting this from the rooftop for a long time. You tend to dismiss them, to hold fast to the idea that your own experiences are the absolute way of the world, and then ignore anyone with background and a different life experience than you and experience in these matters who tries to tell you about this. You talk about how we all need to listen to each other to fix things... but I feel like you basically never listen. Everyone understands the value of being decent in your own personal life and experiences. This is not some new concept. But some of us also understand the myriad of influences beyond our own control, and how they have profound impacts on people’s lives.
You can get pissed at me and call me names for saying this, or just listen and try to take it in a bit. Up to you.
