Everything is being labeled racist now, because of slavery. They're re-naming schools, too. They're removing the cultural context. Many of the descendants of people who fought in the civil war, are angry at this happening, but everyone just tells them too bad, the south lost the war, they were racists, get over it. They get no say. Eventually,, it will be our American flag, they won't just stop at Robert E. Lee.
Since i have black kids i have watched them as they get into that part of history. I think we do have a blessed situation where people do not seem to see color but i've also heard them talk about how glad they are that people "nowadays" don't treat each other like that.
(Yeah, i know. They will learn that soon enuf.)
I've always worried a little about my mixed kids experiencing racism, but for the first time ever, I worry about myself, too. Last year, we had a big Black Lives Matter protest, where 5 of our cops were killed. There were people calling for death to cops and white people. I see racist comments against white people on the internet almost daily now. When I saw that my professor was black and so were most of my classmates, I worried if any of them were a part of that group and thought I was the "devil race". Thankfully, there was no indication of that, but I hate that the media and government have fueled all the race issues. I wish things could go back to being normal.
I find that rather amusing.
