I appreciate you bringing this issue of racial bias to the forefront. The mainstream media did not treat this the same as they would have if the roles were reversed. Everyone is afraid to call it racism when black people do things to white people as if it's not possible for someone who is not white to be racist. For us to work through real issues and resolve them properly we have to look at it honestly even when it's uncomfortable and goes against the social justice narrative that all minorities and mainly black communities are victims. Don't let people shut down good honest discussion.
I thought the idea was to not treat people differently because of race. That means you don't treat someone better or worse, just the same as everyone else. No special privileges. I think having different races is a good thing. Be proud of your heritage! But love and respect everyone because in God's eyes we are all equal. I am white and I am proud to be white but I also know that I am not better than anyone else because I am white. It's pretty simple. To reconcile we will have to let the past go and learn from it as we move forward. No one today has own slaves and no one today has been a slave. So why do I have to feel guilt for something someone in the past did to someone else in the past. I understand that people still suffer prejudice but I don't think in this day and time that there is systemic prejudice or racism. People have to stop embracing and perpetuating a victim mentality.
Thanks for the feed back Bill. I guess what I mean by being proud of being white is that I'm proud of my heritage and who God has made me to be. As in I'm not ashamed of it as some people are. Yes we are different but we are on equal level with respect and the value of our lives. You know what I mean by that so don't over think it. In laymen terms we all put our pants on one leg at a time.
