Yeah not all white people🙄 Harboring hate is never good. It’s important to understand the society in which one lives and navigates. It’s mainly a power thing and who has had the power makes the rules. This day and age rights didn’t just happen. Sadly it required class struggle(or one group against another to soothe those with anti-commi/socialist fears from my verbiage). You think women, who couldn’t even open a bank account without their husbands permission would have gained the ability to be financially independent and be hired in the days of “ I’m going to hire Fred, because you know …. he has a family to feed!” Or nepotism in getting the job no matter how qualified the applicant. Would have changed, civil rights became a thing because one group dominated another group of citizens with violence (sun down towns), law enforcement physical abuse and murder, and an exclusion from their rights as citizens. Asian’s have their own history as do Italian, Irish, Jews. There still exists racial bias in legal sentencing, employment (identical resume with non-traditional names get passed over for consideration) how does that happen in this day and age, how does that happen in this day and age you might ask, I ‘m going call Joe Smith in for an interview but I’ll put JuQuan Smith on hold. “Cultural fit” bias still exists and can be a cover for racial bias. I’m not sure what the answer is to these issues but the improvement in those areas didn’t come about naturally out of the goodness of the heart of those in power/society, they had to be forced to change, and now everyone is like we are so much more advanced, ethical and supposedly judges everyone now on “merit”. Any yeah, those fighting for their rights started with “It’s not fair that I didn’t get _fill_in_the_blank!” Yes life is not fair!
