any time I see people saying "white people" or "black people" do....whatever, these are sweeping judgements that are almost never true.
People are individuals, and respecting that is key to working together.
Exactly. That’s my point. Don’t believe the hype. In fact, if it’s an opinion at all it’s a minority opinion (pardon the pun) that “ALL” white people are racist. Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner gave their lives alongside James Chaney and there are MANY other such courageous figures in history, known and unsung, who fought for what is right.
right and average white people did too. I watched as Dr. King preached, and made whites realize they were wrong to discriminate without making them feel guilty. That had huge impact and most whites on a mundane day to day level turned against racism. LBJ (Pres. Johnson) would never have been able to do what he did without majority white support. People changed and it was not just famous people, or political leadership who changed. Those people followed the masses.
