The problem I've seen here is that this place is overwhelmed with Nice White People who will in the split second after anyone posts about racism.
It's overwhelmingly GenX white and Boomer white, and those two groups are the biggest knee jerkers in the US.
It's absolutely not safe here for Black members to discuss anything specific to their experience.
And that's not politics. It's life. Life in the US is overwhelmingly racist.

With respect, this Boomer doesn’t want to be included in those generalizations.
And that’s . It’s not a generalization.

@ATXJane @kenc313 @SalK

It is a Not All.
And it's a valid generalization. I'm 52, solidly GenX, and my cohort does the same.
If you aren't included then it doesn't apply to you.
Period.

The most important realization you can have as a white American is to understand that you carry racial bias. You might not like it, but it's the result of decades of your life of being exposed to the indoctrination that is a core value of this nation.
It's uncomfortable. That's good. It should be.
But not one single white person in this country doesn't have it
So rather than telling Black members to talk about what they want- genuinely support that while taking stock

While I agree with your general point, you don’t know me. Don’t preach to me.

@Shelter @kenc313 @SalK

To reiterate, I agree with your premise but you’re making sweeping group level statements. It’s group level assumptions that are keeping us from knowing each other better. They make it harder to see the content of one’s character, to borrow a phrase from Dr King.
