I'm quite comfortable discussing bigotry. I'm not comfortable being the white person explaining how to stop a race war.
Because those who are a part of the oppressing class shouldn't have this discussion? Are you not interested in learning why some of these people are like this and what you can do to be a part of a positive change? Why is it that when someone -- anyone -- brings this up, the first thing you think of is "race war"? No one wants that. Don't forget the history. It was your people who did this. We ALL have to fix it now.
The oppressing class has no place in telling the oppressed why they shouldn't revolt. Why is the first thing we think of "race war"? Because we are recognizing the history. Of course nobody wants it, but there is every reason for there to be a race war. And it's a miracle there hasn't already been another. Yes, we do all have to fix this. But believe me, white people telling black people how to refrain is sure as hell not the way to do it.
I'm not telling you to tell us how to react--which I think you could have figured out, what with all this information going around. I'm asking you why you all seem to think when we say, "You should be accountable" you immediately think of how you should tell US what to do, instead of how to tell YOURSELVES what to do.
