In fact my AA or Asian friends -- guys who grew up in Brooklyn and Ct are all the same way. There is no need to talk about race issues because we have none between each other. Were long term friends. I think in this world you give effort uou can have happiness and success-- no one us held back. You again are talking from PURE IGNORANCE! Do you realize that AA's are actually on average much more used to living and working with White Americans than the other way around? AA's are only 10% of the Population and there are many states with VERY few AA's. This notion that AA's HATE White people is something you have either made up or learned from Fox News. AA's had every reason to be vengeful towards Whites after the Civil War. They could've gone on a rampage to seek revenge and gone on a killing spree back when then had the opportunity but they didn't. In fact they for the most part were apprehensive about Whites being agreeable to living with Free Blacks, but they were more concerned with being able to live free and in peace. To educate their children. You know normal American stuff. The fact is that AA's were making steady progress after the Civil War and they even started to Lease Land from the U.S. Government as promised by General Sherman and the Freedman's Bureau. Things were looking up until the U.S. President Andrew Johnson Reneged on that promise. Things got even worse in 1877. The Compromise of 1877 was a purported informal, unwritten deal that settled the intensely disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and formally ended the Reconstruction Era.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise_of_1877 At this point Jim Crow Segregation Era began and we know how that went. This is just a small sampling of why AA's have a lack of trust towards White People. It's not much different than how Native Americans feel about the broken promises made by White People. How would you think AA's should feel about White Society in general given their lived experience for 400 years??? |
