Let's see, Blacks are surrounded by white everyday so in your eyes whites aren't obsessed over race but in fact they are. Whites who've committed terrible acts in history are even remembered yet Blacks are not. History books? Filled with white people and fuking lies. The whole American school system is setup to teach white supremacy. You don't see it because in a peckawoods life all you are taught is that peckawoods are great when in fact your kind is trash. Who's committed the most atrocities to all peoples of earth? White people. What race of men commit the most heinous sexual crimes in the states and around the world? White men. You might even try and argue that Blacks break the made up laws in America yet that is not a fact it is just an opinion. The fact is white people break more laws than Blacks and Mexicans combined yet Blacks and Mexicans are arrested more than whites. Tim Wise wrote an article about how white kids are more likely to have done and be in possession of drugs yet Blacks kids and Mexican kids are arrested more for it. Why? Because a white cop doesn't want to destroy a white kids life over experimenting like a normal child would do. A cop once tried to arrest me when I was younger for some completely stupid shyt. Well my Mum was showed and he had to release me to her. The cop tells my Mum that she should let me go to jail to experience the real world. What on earth makes a jail stay the real world? Some people have NEVER been to jail or even had a problem with a cop yet because I was black jail is factored into my life as just bering another day for a Black man. So in contrast when you think about how many whites think like that White people are obsessed with race more than anyone on the planet. Before whites started "exploring" the world no one had problems with each other the way the world does today. Whites have truly screwed up in their time as being on a world stage. No other race has destroyed the earth the way whites have and continue to do.
