You blame everything on racism. It's your crutch. You Paul and Mariam ALWAYS excuse black murderers and criminals and say their crimes are caused by racism. I'm not the racist here, you are. Race is the last thing I think about, it's the first thing you always think about. I grew up surrounded by every race and learned early in life that there are good and bad in all races and I judge people by their actions and speech, NOT their color.
The problem with your argument is that proof exists that racism is the root cause of the problems blacks face. What the fuck do you think racism is? A nasty word that means nothing and causes no harm? I mean are you really that stupid? Studies show that racism causes severe mental and physical problems.
“Bryant-Davis and Ocampo (2005) noted similar courses of psychopathology between rape victims and victims of racism. Both events are an assault on the personhood and integrity of the victim. Similar to rape victims, race-related trauma victims may respond with disbelief, shock, or dissociation, which can prevent them from responding to the incident in a healthy manner. The victim may then feel shame and self-blame because they were unable to respond or defend themselves, which may lead to low self-concept and self-destructive behaviors. In the same study, a parallel was drawn between race-related trauma victims and victims of domestic violence. Both survivors are made to feel shame over allowing themselves to be victimized. For instance, someone who may have experienced a racist incident may be told that if they are polite, work hard, and/or dress in a certain way, they will not encounter racism. When these rules are followed yet racism persists, powerlessness, hyper vigilance, and other symptoms associated with PTSD may develop or worsen.”
“On occasion, the emotional weight of racism can lead African Americans to engage in maladaptive coping, such as remaining in denial, engaging in substance use, aggression, self-blame – even in extreme cases suicide (i.e., Black Lives Matter activist Marshawn McCarrel) and terrorism (i.e., Dallas shooter Micah Xavier Johnson). These responses are harmful and lead to negative, long-term consequences.”

Please read the links and educate yourself, because if you think racism is no big thing, you're an idiot. Racism is an abusive behavior.
Race is the last thing your white ass thinks about because you don't have to face white racism. instead, you practice it, then lie to yourself about how you don't think about it. I have to think about it, it's essential for my survival. For example, if I am stopped by a cop and don't think about racism, I could be reaching into the glove compartment for my title and insurance and end up dead. You need to face the reality that things are not the same for blacks and whites.
And stop trying to use that content of character crap. I read your posts and your character shows. That's what you are judged by. Not every white person here is a racist, but you are.
