I can show you MULTIPLE videos where there are young people interviewed about policies talked about in the fake news media, but not from their own selves.
Here's one example
First, they repeated what they heard from the news, without knowing the SUBSTANCE of the information. That's my point.
And *everyone* does that
Everyone parrots the news
Yeah, and everyone parrots the fake news that there's "racial tension".
Lemme just ask one thing to you, Larken.
(Fuck, I'm going to sound like a libtard now, but it's okay for the time being)
It's all good.
Have you ever been stared at as if you were a threat?
Called a terrorist at airports?
Had a knife pulled on you?
The first yeah, the second question, no.
Been pulled over for "random checks" at airports?
Yes.
Every time?
No
I've been pulled over for "random checks" every time I've been in a US airport.
I'm not even 18 yet.
I've been pulled over since the age of 4, when I first started making trips to India
I'll tell you
I'm brown
Hence the whole "terrorist" thing
I am brown too, mixed.
I've been told to "speak American" more times than I can count, even when I was speaking to a person who didn't know English
Maybe you got lucky
But racial tension isn't manufactured
lol it is my friend.
The fear that people have of a brown person?
But keep on
That's racial tension
The fear people feel when a black person walks onto their train car? That's racial tension
The black guy who hates Puerto Ricans in my community?
Racial tension
Racial tension isn't "whites vs minorities"
It's *everyone*
And it's natural.
Alright, here's my point. I think I can make the distinctions now.
I'll give you that there is a "racial tension". What I am telling you that is NOT true, is that this "racial tension" you are speaking about is ***Natural***. It is ***artificial***.
Racism, as it has been told to us, *is* manufactured
While I can appreciate your personal resonance with racial tension, it is only your experience and dies not mean that’s what everyone else experiences. Now who is making assumptions.
