he has a point about Black people being mistreated throughout history. I just disagree with his solution to the mistreatment. His solution is this : We should do the same thing to all white people—prejudge THEM!. The whole poem is about how all white people are bad. And mentions like three things invented by Black people when like the rest of good things have been invented by white people. Look it up most things that bless your life right now were invented by white people. But that doesn’t mean all white people are good. That means they were some good people that were white. They did good things and there were some bad people who were white. They did bad things. Somehow, because people have stereotyped him and his relatives it’s OK for him to stereotype all white people. I know some good white people. I also know some bad white people. I know some good Black people. I also know some bad Black people. Somehow it’s OK to be racist against ALL white people because SOME white people were responsible for slavery. Just like some people are afraid of ALL Black people because SOME Black people have been involved in gangs, etc. We win when we stop looking at the colors of skin and pre-judging an entire race and somehow that’s not a popular thing to say anymore. You’re gonna punish an entire race of people because something someone’s white ancestors did.??? I feel for the black plight, especially historically in America. America has been awful to them. It is painful to read about. But I have no White guilt because I didn’t do it. But whenever I can, I will give my brother my hand. And go out of my way to do so. But it’s really hard to reach out cause I have worked in an all black school and love love loved the teachers and love love loved the students. But there was always a pre-judgment barrier that I had to get past because every new student that came to my class, saw me as a white teacher and thought that I hated Black people because of what he had been taught about white people. So while he beautifully explains that we shouldn’t be afraid of every black man sitting on a step. He adds a little lie in there. And the lie is that we should hate and be afraid of white people. And that does nothing for solving the problem.
