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.
What the media calls racial tension is fake, yes, because it calls into play many things that don't truly exist, like "microagressions". But the vast majority of people don't care about that.
The media is *trying* to blow the existing, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes
But that doesn't mean that racial tension doesn't exist on its own
You >"The media is trying to blow the existing, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes"
You can't blow something out of proportion if it doesn't exist to begin with.
I correct it: "The media is trying to blow the SELFMADE, real, racial tension out of proportion, yes"
🤦
That's about as creative as this

Be more original 😂
Not ridiculous if you look at what I have been saying.
No, I'm saying, don't modify what I said, just say it on your own
I mean, look at Morgan Freeman, he even said this: "Wanna know how to get rid of racism? Stop talking about it". Sounds simple, but it holds some truth.
(No, I'm saying, don't modify what I said, just say it on your own" It's ok, I got you).
If I started spewing in the media that all colored people are going to bomb the hell out of the airport, don't you think the people will start looking at black people with suspisciousness? yea.
But that doesn't mean they ARE like that truthfully.
But the fear will still be there
And that's the tension I refer to...
Hold up
I just realized we've been talking about two different things
