In your post when you went on the "it happens everyday" and "puppies die when black people victimize white people" tangent. But now you're debating the "racist" topic with me. I never called Richards racist and I'm disinterested in discussing "racism" with you and most people on GC.
The rest of my post has nothing to do with your post.
Some white people need to just concede that they don't understand or will never agree and stop bullshitting and patronizing. Just because you (in general) don't understand or don't sympathize doesn't mean a damn thing. Nonwhites don't need our feelings and behaviors validated by whites for them to be valid and legitimate. You don't think it's a big deal? Then it isn't a big deal to YOU so go ahead and go back to minding your own business then. You want people to just get over it? If you want you can either go back to minding your own business or hold your breath until we decide we're over it--and don't applaud us when we're over it (that was for shinerbock).
The biggest lesson learned that I don't need some white people to either sympathize or disagree with:
Black people need to continue to strive for improvement, success and to combat some of the negatives in our community. Not for white people and to make them "like us" or think highly of us. But for ourselves. We don't need white people to validate US because WE have always been a prideful people. So we need to continue to challenge ourselves and each other to never settle for less than the best. Things like the Richards incident aren't surprising and they won't stop on a societal level. Therefore, we can empower ourselves by first ceasing to act surprised and refusing to give this stuff our undivided attention. Abundantly blessed.
