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 guess you want me to ask you what's the color of your skin.

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.

There's a "racial tension", but is NOT Natural; it is ARTIFICIALLY made by the media. That's my point.

Racial tension exists, "racial tension" does not, is that better?

Elaborate.

The racial tension is blown out of proportion. The media is feeding it.
