My father, long gone, was KKK.

He engaged in the Cicero Riots in 1951 ( before my time) and as he would tell it, it seemed to be one of the, maybe the only, proudest moment of his life.

My sister and I realized, at a relatively young age, he was a man filled with hate and rage. It consumed him.

Common for people to confuse setting boundaries with trying to control other people, especially family members. We figured out the only thing we controlled was our own reactions. We both left home at 17 and never looked back. Took our mother a few years more to do the same.

Anonymous people post all sorts of crap on social media and often do so for attention. I choose to not get caught up in other people’s drama, real, imagined or feigned.

Some of the tweets I read were really disturbing. I know there are alot of white protestors who are down for the movement but I never really thought about they price they may have to pay for their beliefs. Some of the tweets I read were really heartbreaking. I pray for them all.

We have an America going in two different directions. The whites that embrace and integrate with blacks and those that hold onto old traditional racist beliefs. It can be deceiving. It looks like America is not such a racist place when you see all the whites who truly integrate and are comfortable and respecting of blacks integrated with blacks. People then can get the impression that such is a microcosm of America. Its not. There is another side that looks down upon black people and their organizations.

Two white Americas. One accepting and one not each going in different directions.

You are conveniently ignoring the massive swath of the population that is being raised to hate white people just because their parents are hateful against white people.

There are two black americas, too, just like you describe: one half who aren't racist and the other half who are raising their young integrated into racism from birth.

Try walking through Harlem or Inglewood as a white person.

Without being a numerical majority, without owning banks, corporations, factors of productions, without having to go to a black person for a job, a loan or anything you need.....I would not worry too much about what blacks are thinking about whites....and I am sure you are not. Two black America says to me you only have to worry about 6.5% of the total population....and they likely don't have anything that you need or want or that they can withhold from you from their negative views. If you can think of some...let me know.
