If you feel guilt, then likely you did something wrong. "300 years of being treated as 2nd class citizens" is not my fault and I refuse to feel guilty for it. Of course, my family was not even here before the civil war. And I am of a multi-ethnicity family, so I guess I get a certain amount of leeway. I have never treated anyone wrong specifically due to their color or gender....... If I ever feel guilt, it will be only due to the act or negligence that has not been or ever will be related to someone's color. I was not raised that way.
So, with that in mind I still do not believe there is systemic racism in our country. But, after all the cities burn, due to dirtbags getting questionable treatment by law enforcement, and because some folks deem it to be due to systemic racism, it is likely that many normally sympathetic and decent folks will reluctantly view these activities with race based bias. Tear up my country and I have NO sympathy for you. And don't get me wrong, at least half of the felons burning down and destroying property in the videos I have seen are WHITE. Anarchists are the enemy of America and I have no tolerance for them. They can hide behind the "racism" theme all they want, but they are felons and felons do not deserve any slack.
Personally, I can see no reason that any of these politicians running the cities and allowing anarchists burn and destroy should get reelected. Letting civil unrest go by without consequence is unconscionable and they do not deserve a position of responsibility. If this was not an election year, none of this would be tolerated. I will leave it at that so that this is not deemed a political statement.
I see no reason for anyone on here to feel guilty unless they have committed a wrong on someone base solely on their color.
