The young man Mike was way ahead of his time for the 1950s. He sounded more like a kid from the 1970s, 80s, even 90s. He was like, so their black/colored/negro....what's the big deal. His southern country accent also shows that not every white person with "hee-haw" accent is a racist backwoods hick stuck in the Civil War, even someone from the 1950s. Mike should be late 70s or early 80s today, I hope he's living well.

I was raised by racist parents in a racist family in a racist community and somehow knew in my soul it was WRONG from a young age. Anyone with basic critical thinking skills and empathy will come to the same conclusion eventually. It really is an affliction of the backward, low IQ types who need someone to feel superior to. Same with sexism & other forms of tribalism. Grow up & evolve or get left behind.

At 2021 rates, over 2% of Black Males are projected to commit murder by the time they reach 25 years of age. About 0.27% of White Males are projected to commit murder by age 35. There were 1,084,990 Black and White Americans murdered from 1968-2021. Black Males (15-74) are responsible for 606,743 of these murders, including the murders of 115,169 women. "Black on White bullying is 64% more common than White on Black bullying. In part, these differences probably arise because bullying is socially rewarded in non-White student subcultures." Regardless of race, attending a high-minority school increases the risk of suicide significantly: for every one percentage point increase in the percent minority in the school, the likelihood of suicide increases by one percent. "a 10% increase in the local representation of one’s own ethnic group predicts a 12% decrease in the odds of a person being suicidal." Despite making up only 13% of London's total population, black Londoners account for 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators.

It’s a matter of maturity and consideration for our fellow men, no matter what color we are! My opinion is that God created everyone!

The biggest ones to blame were the stupid legislatures. Then their media, and then the parents. Children are children and don't know the world until they grow up and develop their minds. Adults and elders are the ones to bring change, and not change for unrighteousness as we've seen let happen quickly by law. Back then it was harder to organise people or to access information and knowledge. Now the corruption is in our faces and people are greedy propaganda TV parrots who don't care about their nations civil rights and God given morals going to hell. The world can enjoy the nudity and sexualization of society and alcohol and fornication and abortions and pornography and barring children without marriage and sexualizing children and teaching them how to become homosexual in schools. The legislatures were the biggest to blame for not serving God and defending the public against wickedness.

They had been taught wrongly and the scriptures misinterpreted to them. The Bible was talking about the Hebrews not mingling with the other groups of people less they learn their ways and follow them instead of God at those times. The scripture didn't mean, different races weren't supposed to mix because people had been mixing since the beginning of time and always will. That is how the Bible was being taught by people who didn't know what it meant, so there was never anything wrong with the Bible, just the hearts of men reading them. I am a black man and I applaud these level headed, intelligent white students for their astute and magnanimous behavior, class and positive attitudes given the times they were in.

We moved up there because my dad took a job driving a truck for Arkansas Best Freight in Little Rock. I always loved Benton and Little Rock, and Arkansas. Me and my mom and my brother Paul moved back home to Tyler Texas in 1975. Paul and I are still living here in Tyler. We lost our mom in 1995 and lost our dad in 2019.

You're being wildly sarcastic right?? Do u really not realize America is one of THE least racists places on earth?? Are you responsible for anything that your great, great grandparents did?? Also u do realize that the white men didn't just come & steal black people from Africa right? Their OWN PEOPLE sold them! Black Africans sold & traded their own people for blankets & goods. Also most slaves were prisoners. Did you know something funny - the movie woman king or w.e. it's called - they made the movie seen like strong black women were fighting the evil white men = but in reality & the truth actually was - the "evil white men" were actually there to try to get the "strong black women warriors" to STOP enslaving their own people!! The black warrior women fought to keep their slaves & were defeated within approximately 20 minutes 🤦🏽♀️. I genuinely hope u will realize how brainwashed you are & open your eyes. You are not a victim. Please I truly hope u can realize that the very people who tell u ,u are a victim are the ones who want to keep black people in a victim mentality. U do also realize the whole spill about generational wealth - is not true for the majority of white people right? Sure some white people's ancestors owned land & they ended up with it from passing it down generation to generation. But the vast majority of white people in the US have not been born wealthy. I certainly wasn't. Do u also know how many white people have been enslaved? & We're enslaved during the same time of slavery in the US. Did u also know that black people are still enslaved right now by other black people/ their very own people? Did u also know that the black people in Africa were already practicing slavery before the white people showed up? Obviously slavery is not okay ( should go without saying but in today's climate feel the need to state the obvious). Just the absurdity of anyone saying they deserve reparations is just that - absurd. Why do u deserve reparations from people who have never had a slave , never known someone who did & what is the difference between you & the majority of white people who are not wealthy & who have not been born with inheritance?
