Well I can say he's a former friend but I wanted all of you guys to read this just to know what we're up against and the type of ignorance that pervades this country. Sometimes though I talk to these "blame the victim" types and so many of them are white, it almost makes me ashsamed of my skin color. Anyway, here goes. Warning: You may want to puke. Why did I have to talk to him before bed.....oy
Me: Hey

Me: but I'm doing all I can to channel anger into action
Me: that's good
Him: that everyone looting and killing is black and its ridiculous
Him: because of hiphop they act like savages
Him: ppl say they have poor economic conditions
Me: I sincerely hope that you are just joking
Me: because if you're not

Me: well that's too bad

Him: its not racism, y r the whites down there not looting, theree were white ppl left to die
Him: and others who chose not to loot
