The Current State of Americans
I am old enough to remember what it’s like to see America come out of the tail end of a white racist America in the late sixties and early seventies. America did make some huge progress as a society from the eighties to the two thousands and I’m young enough to be concerned about the future of this new black racially dominated America.
It’s a place in which all a black person has to do is make an accusation of discrimination of any kind whatsoever, and society bows down and caters to them.
You see, I can honestly make this statement without anybody judging me. I am not black, and I am not white.
I am of Mexican-American heritage. If you speak Spanish, Soy un Tejano de sangre puro!
that means that I am a Tex-Mex.
Why should we Americans who are not fixated on racism or skin color be forced to watch America change from a then-white racist society to a now-black racist society? Perhaps the black-and white-skin-colored people in America have forgotten that there are also brown-, yellow-, and red-skin-colored people here in the United States.
I do not have white friends, and I do not have black friends. I do not have brown, yellow, or red friends either. I just have friends. Some of them happen to be white, some of them are black, some of them are brown, and some of them are yellow.
I do not pick my friends by the color of their skin. I judge my friends by the actions of their good deeds and their contributions to society.
It doesn’t matter if you are white, black, brown, yellow, or red. If you have to introduce your friends as This is my white [black, Mexican, or Asian] friend,
you are more than likely a racist; and you should look for some new friends.
When I introduce a new friend to my old friends, the old friends don’t care about the skin color of the new friend.
That is the type of people that you should be surrounding yourself with.
In my lifetime, I have seen this country go from a society in which white people could make comments either openly or under their breath and get away with it. Now, we’re in a society in which the roles have been reversed, and black people are the ones who can now make statements under their breath or openly and get away with it.
The really sad part is that you have these people who hide under the guise of black activism.
In reality, what they really want is to have what the white man used to have: total control.
In a society such as America, everybody is equal irregardless of your skin color, gender, or sexual
