I've heard of black people wearing t-shirts that say "It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" but, if white people wore a shirt that said "It's a white thing, you wouldn't understand" I'm pretty sure most black people would be offended and say that white person was a racist KKK member.

They have nothing better to do but complain. They feel it's their God-given right to be obnoxious because of the whole "slavery" thing. I say that's all in the past. Someday we'll all be the same color and life will be more pleasant. Of course, that's a few thousand years from now and if humans can survive for that long, it would sure be a miracle.

I don't think ALL black people holds grudge against the white race. There was never an amends made for slavery. It was only forty or so years ago, when blacks were still fighting for equal rights. So to say it was a long time ago is not an accurate statement. If you are not black and have never experienced racism, you do not know what it feels like.
I am only 30 years old and I have experienced racism on both ends. Being black and a woman. I don't blame the whole race. Just the ones who still are racist.
My mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother all was around racism. I was raised to love all people no matter what color.
But , I was also taught never to forget what my parents and others went though so that we can have the freedom we have today.
Let's not forget. Freedom was handed to us. We had to fight for it. So to say we should just forget or dismiss it, would be wrong.
What we need to do is learn from it not dishonor what others have done for us and use every opportunity to get a head and then help others to do the same.

Probably, probably not. Not all black people hold a grudge against white people. I blame the fact that our races have yet to get over the inherent and psychological scars left when one race enslaves another. Slavery is dehumanizing. Blacks try to take pride in anything that makes them feel less dehumanized, like uplifting their cultural proclivities. Sometimes whites feel dehumanized by the fact that they know inherently that it is because of the actions of their culture that blacks must emphasize and super-size their racial differences. It is a vicious cycle. Just say to yourself when you see those shirts, "Yeah, I don't, but I want to." And then your actions will start to mirror that thought, and you'll feel less offended, less vulnerable. And more understanding.
