In the lives of people of color, the silence is loudest on the White side if the line.And. it's your prerogative to not agree.<br /><br />I can't fix your perception, either. All is broken down without the post. I can take out the WORD white, and put in "the silent people," but everyone knows what I'm saying and I chose to call it as I see it.<br /><br />Of course there are millions of White people against racism, but if they never say a word, they may as well agree.Ey Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410026742901835948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016515357657404195.post-42921586771188542612015-06-21T17:07:18.796-05:002015-06-21T17:07:18.796-05:00Yes, as I said from the beginning.

And white silence kills people...Yes, silence kills. And white silence kills people of colour. Just like European silence ("We didn't know")killed Jews.Pretending we don't see and standing by when injustice happens, no matter who it is, is a moral sin. In the words of Albert Einstein, ""The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." However, I still say we need ALL of us to :fix" racism,Blacks need to continue to speak out as well. Only together will that problem be solved. As long as one group holds apart from another we can never be united.Yvonne Hertzbergerhttp://newfantasyauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016515357657404195.post-33693041625604112702015-06-21T13:55:54.167-05:002015-06-21T13:55:54.167-05:00Clarifying, my comment should have said "Sile...Clarifying, my comment should have said "Silence is killing people of color."<br />And, my main reason for saying White people can fix it is because they are seen as the leading visual in normal life, the superior. Not a just or true assessment but everyone in the world knows what I'm saying. <br />People of all races are dying to be whiter, believing privilege and good life awaits.<br />Ey Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410026742901835948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016515357657404195.post-9306641093376766782015-06-21T13:43:47.127-05:002015-06-21T13:43:47.127-05:00I love this.

We know we are Black, we accept that. Others have to accept and acknowledge that is what we are, not who we are. I can't be anymore human than I already am.<br /><br />What I said in the post is a remedy. When unjust and unGodly things happen to Black people and White people stand up against it,that is how they can fix it. If we, as Black people are the only ones protesting, the only one commenting, it seems as if we are searching... begging for attention are a pity party. Silence is what is killing people of noncolor and keeping racism, alive.<br />As a society we can work together to change bias laws, but as a society, I can't change a person's hate for my color.Ey Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410026742901835948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016515357657404195.post-8393199168341054242015-06-21T10:17:05.278-05:002015-06-21T10:17:05.278-05:00For the most part I agree with you Ey. We ARE one ...For the most part I agree with you Ey. We ARE one family, whether we see it that way or not. But I also disagree with one thing. It is not just the white races responsibility to "fix" the problem of racism. It is everyone's/ We must all, as citizens of the world, examine our own attitudes and adjust them when they do not align with the "one family" ethos. ALL people who encounter anyone "other" and has grown up with ideas about that "other" is racist. It is a global issue, not a white one.Yvonne Hertzbergerhttp://newfantasyauthor.comnoreply@blogger.com
