you are not born a racist or with prejudice thoughts.
a defense mechanism? what exatcly are you defending?
most people say black folks are angry at white folks, only because of what we have learned about slavery right?
ok so lets say i was raised by a white family who never taught me black history, i wouldn't have any resentment towards white people whatsover.
I am speaking for me, i don't have a racist nor prejudice bone in my body. you know why? because my parents didn't instill that in me. my parents never made racial comments etc. They taught me what we are all equal. Even if someone dropped the n bomb, i'm not gonna use racism as a defense mechanism.
