Not a thing. Just geography + time.

Of course, culturally it has been made a thing, and a thing which privileges some and penalizes others. We need to fix this.
It’s time to expect the unexpected.

When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s I use to hear about black people are the most uneducated race, and have the highest drop outs rates. In my family neither mother or father side have education. If anyone is educated there are distant family members. Therefore growing up the children did what they saw the parents do, except when I quit school because I had kids early, I decided to return, and obtain my GED, and life goes on from there, as I continued to seek education through out my life, and even now at 45 still engaging in an learning environment in spite of life challenges along the way. I have refused to live life uneducated and be a statistic.
You are dirt. So I scrubbed.

No difference. We are all human
We can learn. Just need time
Pain, black reaction OJ Simpson verdict

After so much sacrifice, blood, time and heartache by whites who supported the Civil Rights Movements, to watch and hear the jubilation of a “not guilty” verdict from a community who benefited from that work, for a man who brutally murdered two whites, I was heart-struck.

The lion (white men) wrote our history, now its prey’s (people of color) time to write the history

There is a quote, but I don’t remember the attribution, “Of course I’m prejudice, I don’t have time not to be”.
I’m African-American and on time.
Jendayi Rachal,
California, CA.
I am a proud African-American female who is goal oriented and has her priorities in order. I do not follow stereotypes. I like to express myself and be an individualist. And I know how to enunciate and articulate as well. Intelligence does not belong to a specific skin color.
I am more than skin color
Mitch Dobbs,
Columbus, OH.
There was a time in our society when individuals were treated differently based on the color of their skin. It was and is apalling and just plain wrong. Nothing will change that or make it right. “I am more than skin color” means that we must look past the burden of these issues and into the future. The choices we make today will determine how hard and long the journey to true social equality is going to be.
Perceptions of race…change….over time…

I am 52 years old and I am from the Midwest (Rockford, IL) and while there was not an absence of racism per se…my friends and I were fortunate enough to grow up in a community where our families, communities and educational experiences allowed us to experience integration at its best…I am grateful for how well-reared I am and how well-integrated I am with the human race…please join us…there aren’t any rules in Paisley Park…xoxoxo

Our times, our parents times and the residue of their struggles are remembered in all our struggles and celebrations today.
Times Have Changed.. Or Have They?

People Say That Mistakes Are Lessons Learned, But When Does Those Lessons Become Permanent? When Will This Society Realize That We Can Benefit A Million Times More From Each? We’re Supposed To Be A Nation, United, Standing Together For A Common Good. If You Want Your Country To Be The Best, Then Why Is It So Hard To Learn From Your History/Mistakes So That You Will Never Repeat Them Again?
