Do you think it’s better that blacks are the No.1 reason racists get up in arms? Why aren’t they as quickly jumping up to denigrate Asians or Chicanos or Communists or Wall Street fat-cats or [insert anyone not considered black].
Why should a Mexican American care about blacks? An Indian-American or Iranian or Egyptian…?
Everyone has their own issues to deal with and, within the black community, some people promote an image that EVERYONE should be watching out for blacks.
Equal, lawful and humane treatment are due everyone via rule of law, but no other ethnicity owes blacks anything including extra attention.
I meet black Africans occasionally and they don’t give one shit for my plight. Most don’t even make eye contact. They don’t give headnods or assume we’ve been thru the same turmoil — as it should be. I haven’t earned their respect, yet.
I just want to left alone to succeed or fail, on my own terms, without my skin being a burden or leverage.
What’s your actual response to the question?
Why should anyone else care about blacks or specifically American blacks?
