Why do African Americans complain about discrimination when discrimination has been reversed against whites? How has it been reversed? White Americans can live where they like without any problem. They can drive around without being looked at by police, while black people can’t. They can meet in large groups and no one will say anything, while blacks can’t. In fact, there’s a lot we can’t do. As apparent in New York, an African American can’t even pull out his wallet without being shot, so I don’t see how that role is reversed.
As far as the book How Stella Got Her Groove Back, you said there were derogatory statements made toward white people. Are you kidding? It’s not like white authors haven’t done the same thing.
You’re wondering about so-called reverse discrimination when all that this country sees is white, from books to most of the shows on television. We have BET while 96 percent of other channels are white-owned. Months of remembrance? One month of February. Most of the other holidays celebrated in this country are white holidays: Labor Day, Columbus Day, Memorial Day, etc. Outraged about a white only scholarship? Please spare us the drama. We won’t be outraged and haven’t been for a long time. You have some people in this country who get in schools exclusively because they are white with money, or because it’s some family tradition that a sibling from a certain family goes to the same school. And if it were up to Southern whites, black people would be continuing to be minions to their white counterparts, meant to serve instead of learn. I suppose that’s supposed to be OK, too? I’ve never heard of a black man owning a plantation while whites are working the fields picking cotton.
Sure, we are all discriminated against, but there is no comparison to how African Americans are discriminated against. You can pull up all the books, shows, cable channels you like, but there is still no comparison. Minorities period, not just blacks, still don’t have the same rights as the white majority, and we probably never will. You make is sound like white people are underprivileged. You all are not; your very skin color is your privilege.
