Whites also have a misperception that blacks have had 150 years to get back on their feet since abolition and have simply chosen not to bother. This comes from willfull ignorance of Jim Crow, sharecropping, the depth and breadth to which white supremacy was accepted perpetuated by whites in general. Whites prefer to steer any argument about race all the way back to slavery because we can’t realisticly be held responsible for what happened centuries ago by people most of us have no direct blood relation to. We are, however, responsible for the contemporary age of racism and things that happened not 40 years ago. Whites need to wake up and realize it’s not about Harriett Tubman, but about Amadu Diallo. Finally, there are irreconsilable cultural differences that will never be understood as long as white children and black children grow up on opposite sides of town. White people don’t understand that Hip-Hop style sportswear worn by an average black teenager doesn’t indicate criminal behavior any more than black people understand that shaved heads, black clothes and HeavyMetal imagry displayed by an average white teenager indicates satan worship or white supremacy.
