He said every race should f**k each other and just make it like coffee. Being as you don't have a clue, ya know- I'm giving you one.

:bouncegiggle:
There is a fantastic quote from him I've been trying to find about how he couldn't understand why people would judge each other on the colour of their skins, just don't be an a***ole.
Okay, watched with the closed captioning on, & it sounds like Bad Brains wasn't around yet.......

Bad Brains formed in 1977.
there's a black guy I work with (orginally from Guyana) who I have become really close friends with over the last couple of years. close as in over lockdown we've been phoning each other for a quick chat and before you know it we've been talking for 90 mins...that kind of close. he's one of the friendliest and most genuine people I've ever met
I feel like this whole BLM situation (which I have nothing against in principle) has created something of elephant in the room situation between us, where there previously wasn't one. nothing that will disrupt our friendship but I definitely feel slightly uncomfortable about how this has pervaded everyday life. I'm vehemently anti-racism in all its forms, but suddenly I feel like I'm part of a 'problem', almost by default?

You cannot help but express your genuine humanity. Black Lives Matter has become the "elephant in the room" for people who had never had a racist inclination in their lives. I think it is understandable that a person would feel guilty... just for being white. It is painfully pointed out to us that we have privileges that are not apparent to us. Meanwhile non-whites are often still marginalized. The human race and American culture is taking a step up; and reactions illustrate we have a long way to go. Unfortunately human nature has always been to ostracize, criticize, and marginalize people unlike ourselves.
yeah sadly I think that's true...
and progress still needs to be made, but what's happening now seems more like a step backwards
I'll never know what it's like to be a black man in a 'white man's world', but that doesn't automatically mean I'm the enemy. -and that's how I feel blacks and whites are being stacked up against each other here...

I agree with you... but I think a baby's first steps are difficult. The ugliness and violence may seem regressive, but it's just reactionary. Real change is coming. :thumbup:
Fnck racism.
Fnck sexism.
Fnck fascism.
