I am black and I respect white.
Historically, our country has been ravaged by segregation and loathing between black and white.
It is not all of us from these two groups of colour, but a certain minority from both groups who just cannot find peace within themselves to let go of the past.
Somehow this issue has not changed.
I choose to believe that, in this modern age, no one has the entitlement to play the victim.
Both of us (black and white) are somehow playing the instigator.
In one instance, when it is publicised in our country that there has been a particular black person who has accomplished a grand achievement – whether it be in sports, business, entertainment, etc., – instead of only celebrating and acknowledging the achievement, you will find a certain minority of black people rubbing this in, or rather bragging about this, to white people, which in turn will ignite white people to feel the need to “protect” themselves in some way or another.
On the flip side, white people should understand that what makes a person (including them) is not colour, but their internal being.
