    Your question lacks sufficient context. Some I know are treated alright, not much differently than most of us. I plan to visit one on Monterey Bay, I worked with some years ago.
    Then there are those that go out of their way to seperate themselves from there countryman by calling them racist, bigots, and talk of them whitesplaining.

    No sir, would not like to be treated like the later. It may get worse too if BLM has their way.

    There is no such "group" in existence, certainly not on this board. The claim that "white people" all think this way is blatantly racist, as is your attempt to legitimize it.

    I went to school for Geography and Community Development, so yes, kinda. But I'm also not trying to explain to you how to "fix" the Black community.

    I would have the opinion of being afraid for their lives. That's the only one I'd express. One of why I don't want them there.

    Without listing the endless string of words used primarily to insult other races or sexes please explain why only my race and sex are fair game for hate attacks, often in concert.

    Because you belong to the only group not on a protection list and you belong to the only group designated as root of all evil.

    Ah well, Jesus fixed the Pharisees years ago. The title has been bestowed on the white men quite sometime now.

    We just happen to live during a period of time where white people were the empire builders.

    Egypt had its time in the sun.

    Rome.

    Greece.

    The Mayans.

    Genghis Khan.

    We are still living in the afterglow of the English empire. The world is fucked up today because of white imperialism, but then again, maybe things wouldn't have played out that way if Rome hadn't invaded Britain and Germany? All things considered we haven't been in power for very long. Just a moment in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure people hated the Romans... and the Greeks.... and the Persians.

    Right and correct. But even more is if someone without experience tried to make their definition of PTSD or depression the law. Or if they were given TV time and called experts.

    I've had the experience a number of times being on public transit reading a book when a man (never has a woman done this) interrupted my reading to tell me all about the book and why its basic premise was wrong. And every time it has been absolutely clear he never read the book. But he knew what it was about and could mansplain (illiteratesplain?) it to me.

    Well that's clearly because you weren't reading Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm sure plenty of women would have offered up their opinions on those books!

    Slightly different. The latter is completely racist in a slightly different way. I don't have to try it to know I don't want to stick my hand inside a running blender. I've never went out of my way to tell a black guy anything.

    I was at Wet N Wild last weekend and four 20 something black guys were getting on the waterslide next to me. I listened to them talk and I WANTED to tell them that someone out there somewhere has to want to help them learn to speak properly.

    I could whitesplain to them how illiterate they sound until I'm blue in the face but it is none of my business.
