[Michell20527]

As far as speaking for all white people, I can only guess, so here goes. I think that white people take tragedies very hard because it does not fall in line with our expectations. We as a race are taught to aim for lofty goals, and to work to achieve them. We have not had some of the obstacles that blacks have had in achieving these goals. Historically, blacks in this country have had to accept hardship in their lives as a matter of course. When whites who have never had to face hardship are suddenly caught by surprise by tragedy, we take it hard because it does not fit in with our plans. As an athiest, I take the death of a loved one very hard because I view it as a permanent state. But that is a whole other story.
