I have a question for all ya good pple about racial disharmony. I am of the opinion that we face racial disharmony because we are not honest with each other. We instead point accusing fingers in whispers & in private.
For example: I went to an Ivy Leage university which has majority caucasian kids but there were also Asian and Afro-American kids. Now, some black kids in the surrounding neighbourhood would come to campus & jack the white kids for cash and gear. That made a lot of white kids afraid of black men in general and, I being black & a foreigner, could understand their fear. But there are 2 problems here: 1) The black kids on campus remained quiet even as the white kids were attacked repeatedly. 2) The white kids did not speak out about their fear of ALL black men. They just avoided them like the plague.
This is one example, and I know that blacks (& other races) can cite examples that go the other way. But, for goodness sake, why do we tolerate this nonsense?
