The app for independent voices

I returned from Vietnam in 1970, a 20-year-old Sergeant who could not vote of buy a beer. I was stationed in Albany Georgia for my last year as an active-duty Marine. I remember Lester (Ave Handle) Madox political ads against Jimmy Carter. "Wha Jimma Cattah claims to be a man of the people. He's got slave down thea in Plains on his peanut plantation." He was a read piece of work, Southern politics back in the day.

I understand that some people have more reason to be inclined to racism based upon their personal experience. My point is about the idea that anti-racists put that into the heads of younger people who did not live through the bad old days themselves.

I wrote nothing to indicate a ratio of racism between the races. Given that I believe that monolithic low expectations of individuals because of their "race" is the foundation of racism, I do think that we all need to keep our own house clean. The low expectations can be the result of personal grievance of propaganda. Does having more reason to be racist make it not so bad? You know that I am well aware that you have written numerous articles that address racism from all groups and don't think that.

Perhaps I have just grown weary of the steady evil straight white man drone on Medium. You may be weary of denial that even though things have improved there are still issues that affect black people more than other groups. I think that you know that i don't deny that.
