Yup. You put aside your fight for the civil rights of your people to live an easy quiet life.
Good for you. It is exhausting fighting all the time. I got no problem with people who don't want to fight. Some of us just don't have it in us.
My problem is when you start shitting on those fighting in your stead and telling them they need to be good, obedient little dogs like you.
You should hate. You should be fucking angry. Cos your kids might not be angry but they'll never have the opportunities they could have had if they were born white and wealthy.... and one day they'll find that out and ask you why you didn't tell them. Why you didn't try to fight for them more. Why you were happy to just sit there and let them grow up without those advantages too. Is it the best you can really do to not hang out with junkies or beat them? Is that the limits of what you can do for your kids?
They aren't taught to be jealous and to see white people as the enemy, they are taught to see people as people and to allow those people to show how they are before rushing to judgements
they are taught kindness and to have integrity in what they do and to hold themselves accountable for what they say and do
to not cower to pressure to do what they feel is wrong and to not judge on color
I don't care if they end up wanting to live in a tree in the woods or work some high paying job in the city they are to be kind reasonable and honest and to not hate or blame others for their color money or opportunity
as far as fighting goes one of those few good things I ever did was withdraw myself from violence and ooga ooga type of behavior both for myself and my family
