I have probably said this before, but as an old white guy, I have never understood why the supposedly superior white race is so afraid of the supposedly inferior black race.

It must be fear that causes us to demonize black people since they are inferior to white people. They can play on our sports teams but cannot be owners; they can act in the movies, but in specific roles and rarely receive awards for their efforts; they can be shot by the police, even though they are unarmed since they are so dangerous they easily overpower the typically armed police officer.

As a teenager, we had black, Christian churches - same God, but different parishioners. We had separate bathrooms because white people didn't want to deposit waste matter in the same receptacles as a black person would use - of course, having sex with black women was different - not to mention that much of this sex was non-consensual.

We are not all equal. We all have different abilities, skills, etc., and none of us is superior to anyone else due to some skin coloration. Race is a social construct and has no basis in science. We all sweat in the summer, shiver in the winter, and in the end they dig the same size hole for all of us.
