I believe it’s pretty much one sided. But still not as bad as it’s made to be.


It’s definitely one sided for the most part. The black hatred of white people is the worst it’s been in my lifetime. The black desire for segregation (as long as they’re still getting whitey’s tax dollars) is the strongest it’s been in my lifetime.

As far as white on black racism, I see more white people going out of their way to be nice to black people, that’s how it’s been for a while, but the media tends to only show the “we don’t like your kind” types and act like it’s everywhere (kind of like they act like there’s a trans person in every household).

So now we’ve got white people who just have fun protesting so they go to BLM stuff (without realizing Jacob Blake raped a girl and tried to stab a cop), but they’ll eventually get tired of it and move on to the next trendy protest.

Outside of that, we’ve also got white people who genuinely feel guilty and might always feel that way. SJW’s. And on the flip side there are white people who hate black people no matter what and always have felt that way. Both of these groups will always be around no matter WHAT happens.

And last we’ve got white people who want to be helpful to black America, but they still keep getting guilted and called “racists” and accused of “stealing everything”, told constantly that “America was never great” and all that… to where that compassion turns to exhaustion, then indifference, then resentment. That’s personally where I’m at.

I am 59 in August. I don't see it. I think black people are more comfortable acting an arse because of their hatred because they can do so and not get knocked in the head...which is a kind of progress when you think about it. There is no reason to hate white folks more in 2024 than there was in 1974...in fact just the opposite is true...but its also less likely to cause you some trouble in 2024 if you say what's in your heart as a black person that it was in 1974. Hate is a human emotion....it transcends race....every race has among its members those who are ignorant and hateful....hell, to a certain extent we are all universally racist to some degree. I don't think its any worse today....I think that black folks can just express their hatred without repercussion more so today than in the past. The inverse is definitely true for white folks....if a person went about acting like most white folks did in the 60s and 70s they'd have a damned hard row to hoe....they still have it in their hearts, they just do not express it as freely....

All due respect but that is about as racist an idea as saying black folks can't swim because they have an extra muscle in their legs (swear that was a thing in my area in the 70's). "Helping" indicates there was a need that you could facilitate....thats a razor thin idea.
