Not just their past but their present and future. It may not be your specific fault or your ancestors specifically may not have done anything but unfortunately you belong to a race that I have been conditioned not to trust. That makes all the sense in the world as that is a human instinct. When fire burns you it conditions you to be wary of fire. It would be silly to expect you think the next fire held no harm.
If you found out that my great grandfather killed whites and his male descendants did the same all the way down to me I would expect you to regard me as a probable killer.
Good point with the grandfather analogy, but with that said, would it make sense for me to regard all blacks as probable killers because of what your grandfather did? I don’t think so...
You arent looking at me or my history, you are simply assuming I am part of an ugly minority fraction of people. In the mean time you think and teach others to allow the small power of that small fraction to apply to an entire race of people, which results in a promotion of spreading races. That’s just crazy and so anti the spirit of what America is in my point of view. It’s sad to me that there are people that feel the way you do. I’m not completely blaming you for that, there are certainly reasons for it, I just hope leaders in the black community promote a different message
