I agree that many white people don’t understand the reason black people have so much hate. I believe many have the attitude that ‘slavery is over, it’s not our fault, it happened and it would never happen today so get over it…’ I have NO tolerance for racism of any kind, and feel for any victims of it, black or white. It’s got to be frustrating not to be able to track your geneology, and all of the issues surrounding that. Slavery was the most horriffic period in our country for black people, and I think most white people agree on that. I don’t, however, think that those white people who are blind to what happened back then mean to be; it just doesn’t pop into our minds every day. I don’t look at someone and immediately decipher whether they’re black or white and then whether to feel sorry for them. I don’t look at any ethnicity and think about what their ancestors went through. It doesn’t mean I don’t care. I love all people.
