We all have our own to deal with. Why fight amongst ourselves. That’s what the ruling class wants so we don’t fight and look at what they are doing.

I never remember my parents talking about it. Never a conversation. just people… never treat any people different or judge anyone based on anything. That’s that.

As someone who’s mixed, they didn’t even have to tell me, it just came naturally. (They did talk to me but as a kid it was just normalized) Like why would I judge you bc you’re brown? In my school we’d have pictures with every color (even as a PWI)

I genuinely believe that it is beyond stupid to treat someone different just because of the color of their skin. My mom raised me to treat everyone as equals and with the same amount of respect and just because not everyone has the same skin color as me, they don’t deserve to be treated any differently. Proud to say I don’t see skin color even into my 20s Much love, a white girl

I’ve been very fortunate to never being taught this level of disrespect to other people. Too many Filipinos and Filipino-Americans have subconsciously bought into that colorist mindset, but I’m slowly seeing things improving across ages and over time. Sincerely, an Asian guy

my mom instilled it so much that me a white woman has a black boyfriend and most of my friends aren’t white

Hot take here but I think it’s better to teach your kids not to see skin color than to go “you see that black person over there don’t judge them”

Martin Luther king said to judge people by the content of their character. But people be getting mad when we do that😭. It really comes down to statics and experience on how we feel about what's happening today. We both know we feel safer around certain neighborhoods, we all know it, but for some reason it's horrible to say how most people feel.

Assuming everyone of a certain race or in a certain neighborhood is a criminal is not judging them based on their character. You literally don’t know them, you’re just assuming. There are plenty of studies & research that proves black people commit crimes at the same rates as other races when you adjust for socioeconomic & geographic factors. Black men are like 9 times more likely to be incarcerated for the exact same crime a white man commits. So maybe research non cherry picked statistics.

This article discusses why black men are 75% more likely to be charged with crimes vs white men with the same background & offenses. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/11/16/black-men-sentenced-to-more-time-for-committing-the-exact-same-crime-as-a-white-person-study-finds/
