James, white people cannot be the victims of hatred. Nothing people of color could possibly do to us could be even a tenth as bad as, let alone as bad or worse than, white the white power structure continues to do to them. It still comes down to things like this: when you or I get pulled over for a trivial offense like a burned-out or busted tail light, we both know we're never going to be shot by the cop, no matter what- and if you or I had a teenage son, that teenage son would NEVER be confronted by a neighborhood watch guy simply for walking home through his own neighborhood late at night with the snack he bought at a convenience store with his own money. If you aren't personally actively racist, then just don't take it personally- it's not your place OR my place to tell people of color how they can and can't talk about us or about other white people.
