5. First of all, thank you

for the highlighted reminder at the top of your post, letting folks know this is posted in a pretected group. As someone who surfs the Greatest Page as a forum, it's really helpful to remember not every post on the GP is from GD.

Secondly, THANK YOU for pointing out to my fellow white folks that not only do a lot of Black people hate this country and it's leadership goals that benefit white men. If I were Black, I would feel the same way, and I'd also be very wary of white people. WWe have been so faithless overall with regard to our Black brothers and sisters, with little bits of light here and there but overall, we have treated and continue to treat you all like shit. I apologize heartily for my race, and for my ancesstors who made race into a social construct that is used to weaponize societal systems against you.

I had a conversation with my sister the other day about the current state of country. She has lost all faith and is very fearful. I told we'd overthrown fascism in this country before. She was like, "You mean McCarthyism?" No, I meant slave-owning culture, I meant the Civl War. She jusst looked at me blankly. SO MUCH education has to happen for white people. I wish they (we) were more open to it.

Anyway, whyte woman sez: sorry to butt in, solidarity forever, no one is free until everyone is free.
