White people: not them, but us.

I’ve noticed that many white people have a tendency to use the pronoun ‘them’ instead of ‘us’ in relation to other white people when talking about race. By failing to include ourselves the group we push the blame off ourselves, but also neglect to recognize the implicit biases present in everyone. This only perpetuates the issues we have with race in todays society.

The British should reunite all of Ireland and apologize for their willful neglect.

I believe that racism is more harmful now to society than ever. I believe this is so because we have convinced ourselves that slavery and the civil rights movements were “victories” for the minorities of our society and we no longer owe it to the other races to continue the fight towards a more complete and equal human race. We all must acknowledge that race DOES matter because it dictates the lives of millions of Americans and it would be irresponsible of everyone to neglect its existence.
