Fair enough. But, you have to see it from a Black perspective. When whites have never treated you equally and consistently discriminated against you because of the color of your skin, even more now, it's hard to see "half of the white population" as being non-racist.
My 11 yr old granddaughter was humiliated at the store across the street from her house (which she frequents with her mom), because the store clerk, a white man, accused her of stealing. He was adamant, and so sure it was her. He attacked her, cursed her, told her to never come back to the store. After demanding to see the tape, it was a white girl who did the stealing, my granddaughter wasn't even in the store that day or any other day that week, with or without her mom.
How do you think my GD feels? How do you think that affects her? How can she say oh it's just that one white man, all whites are not like that? she was traumatized.
I get it. We both would like to believe that most whites aren't racist, but until you walk in a Black person's shoes, it's hard to make that statement.
Racism is just as nasty and ugly today as it's always been. It's just more out in the open now.
