Today in Racism

I've talked about this event and race relations in general a lot. But I must say, I've been very angry and very sad about what has been going on in this country. But what I'm feeling right now, this is hurt. My heart is literally aching, because I feel like I'm watching videos of my grandparents, great-grandparents and ancestors. The same people whose backs this country was built on, the same people who raised them. The people who fought to have rights in a country that never viewed them as human. It looks like something straight out of the 60's, and that's what breaks my heart so much. None of these people who claim to be "nazi's", and white supremacist, none of their mindsets have changed. They cannot grow mentally because they are stuck in one place. They cannot grow intellectually because their entire "belief system" is based on cowardice, delusional thinking, and hallucinations. They see through the filters of hate and have no compassion for human life. They exhibit behaviors of a sociopath. Christopher Cantrell is the biggest coward of them all, a disgusting human being. You brought shields, helmets, guns, and knives to a "peaceful" protest! Grow up and stop whining about not being first anymore.You looked like lacrosse and hockey players who really have dreams of being in the army but they never come true. You looked like you were going to play pirate ship in the backyard with your imaginary friends. In other words, you looked very dumb in those party city costumes, with your culture appropriating tiki torches. 

Second, for the white people who are standing with us, (by us I mean, blacks, hispanics, and Jewish people), we appreciate you. We appreciate that you have actually allowed yourself to grow and mature. But please do not act out in violence because only the black community will get slack for it. We will be called thugs and have our mugshots put all over the news as if we are the aggressors. So please, just stand with us, and stand with what we as a people represent. 

To the cops of Charlottesville, you had a job and you failed.

Also please stop telling us not to be angry, especially if you don't know what it's like to walk around not knowing if someone will flip out on you or threaten to kill you just because they don't like the color of your skin. I mean, it's not me you hate, it my skin tone. Maybe you're jealous of the melanin, sick of these sunburns. Please don't say you understand if your white privilege gives you a pass. Please stop telling us how to react as our country turns more and more against us everyday. When our President would rather overlook the death of a young woman and blame "both sides" as not to offend the cowards (aka neo-nazis, kkk, white supremacists). Please stop telling us how we should feel and start focusing on why we will feel this way. As for you white supremacists, I'll say it again, we are not our grandparents. We might be hurt, but if there's anything our parents and grandparents taught us, it's ... we don't fear cowards
