That is the truth, sir, and just because I talk about it doesn't make me any less capable or willing to do what I have to do. We can talk all day long about this topic if we want to and that in no way reflects our individual levels of desire to live life to the fullest. YOU and others need to stop prejudging people who DO find it necessary to continue to address problems that continue to plague this country and the world. You do YOU, let me do me.

You want to do something that will not only make you (and us as a race) the "bigger person" and end some of this deep-rooted spiritual based racial animosity that a lot of folk here have been spouting off continuously?
FORGIVE THEM!
Don't seek or expect an apology from them, just humble yourself and forgive them and their ancestors for the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon you and your ancesteors. Be sincere, be humble. Just forgive them.
Once you do that, you can get rid of a lot of this spiritual trauma and move on with your life.
Otherwise, as far as your "You do YOU, let me do me." remark, I'll ask it again just for the sake of conversation:
Would you like some cheese with your whine?
