(111,332 posts)For 50 years, we've told people that feminism doesn't mean being anti male.
They've got a similar fight to face.
Of course pro black isn't anti white, it's just pro black. They have had a lot of wrongs done to them over the centuries here and those wrongs need to be undone, all of them, especially jailing so many nonviolent black men so they wouldn't be able to take advantage of the Civil Rights Act and compete against mediocre white males.
I hope people in the future look at this time the same way we look at slavery and wonder what the hell people were thinking, allowing this to happen.

(7,911 posts)Years ago I got a flat tire in a downtown neighborhood of Los Angeles. My spare was also flat, but I was only 2 blocks from a service station. (That was back in the day when service stations did things like fixing flats). So I took the flat spare and rolled it down the street to the service station. The man at the station freaked out. He told me it wasn't safe for a white man to walk the streets of that neighborhood at night, and, after pumping up my spare for me, he insisted on escorting me back to my car and helping me change the tire.
It's very important to ask the question "When will it be safe for a black man to walk the streets of a white neighborhood?" It's also important to ask the question "When will it be safe for a white man to walk the streets of a black neighborhood?" I have a hunch that the answer to either question is the same answer for the other question, and that is when members of one race (any race) stop fearing and hating members of another. That sword cuts both ways.
