TBTNEWS COMMENTARY

Loved & Hated By Whites

Contributing Correspondent: C. Dubb

This picture located to the right is a snap shot of what most black people feel about their existence in America. Blacks, through short term history, as well as a century or so of bigotry and hatred, see most white people as card carrying KKK members - even if they don't wear the mask any longer.

But also, most blacks are smart enough to know that many, many whites are not die heart racists who continue to think that hangings or servitude towards them is as common in America as it once was - less than 50 years ago, actually. Blacks have lived in this country long enough, and along side whites; rather it's in educational institutions or in the work place to know that the union has been a good one, for the most part.

But when an incident like the most recent Freddie Gray's murder, the Ferguson killing, George Zimmerman shooting of Trayvon Martin, and the choking death in New York of the man selling cigarettes - that blacks and whites, at least openly, stand on opposite sides of so-called justice.

Yes, there are bundles and bundles of white people who join forces with black America against injustices. And those whites have placed their own lives on the line searching for equality. It was visible during the last week as whites were being arrested in Baltimore marching and protesting with the black community.

But what's interesting, and TBTNews will look at this soon. But where are the Hispanics in these kinds of debates? They are also targeted by police for unjust treatment. But yet they are silent. Even as immigration is front and center in this country, and blacks have stepped into that debate, reluctantly, but yet, blacks are engaged in the discussion. The Hispanic community is never seen or heard from in situations like what we see in Baltimore. Again, TRUTH B TOLD News Service will examine this, sooner than later.

To live in America today is very tricky. Blacks feel that whites can't really be trusted. Whites see blacks through a negative media window platform. And both are afraid to truly embrace the other. Having a beer does not constitute a relationship or love affair of the races. The true test of progress will finally come when the white elite decide to stand side-by-side with blacks during critical times, like what we're experiencing in Baltimore.

Mainstream whites have to publicly voice their displeasures, and use their influence to reject the American government's lack of inclusion and equality. This community of whites in mention must denounce racism vehemently. They must let the world know that if American is to survive these defiant moments like what occurred in Ferguson, or now in Baltimore, than the white sheets must be removed... mentally.
