I am not black, but I have witnessed racism first hand. Back in the early 60's one of my best friends was a black sergeant in the Army. He and I traveled together from the post when we could get off for a weekend. When we were hungry, we had to stop and let me go inside to get food to go, because he was not allowed inside. But, once we did stop at a chicken place he knew and I was not allowed to go inside, because I was white. That didn’t bother me as much as him not getting to go inside at other places.
That’s only one story and there are a lot more. The point being that racism existed and to some extent still does, on both sides. Sergeant Davis and I didn’t let it bother us. We were friends.
Over the years I’ve always tried to treat all people the way I wanted to be treated, and stand up against anyone that doesn’t. So the following may be a shock to some.
If you are looking for racism, look no further than the Democrat party. All they have ever done for black people is to convince them that they are on their side. Reality is that they have taken black Americans off the plantations and put them in the ghettos. Is it any wonder why there is so much frustration in America. People have had their dignity stripped from them in the name of “entitlement.” They have been robbed of hope.
Martin Luther King said that he dreamed of a time when a man would be judged by his character and not the color of his skin. It is hard to have the right kind of character in a ghetto.
