Living with Africans

I've been around the world supposedly working to better conditions for humans. In a sense, Americans seem to think that they only black people are in America. African Americans have personality traits and culture that is unique to America. Outside of America people of other races carry their own dignity and glory. Inside America the echoes of our shameful practice of slavery still propagate through out culture. My own perception has changed due to my exposure so that within the limits of my ability I no longer see race at all. The constraints of my own belief system dictate that to obey my moral values, I must treat everyone fairly and with as much love as they will accept. It is a dark, bloody stain on our culture that any one who is transgender must die, and doubly so that blacks are killed more often.

I wonder how many

Angharad's picture

ordinary women were killed in the same period, of black or latina origins. All of it is deplorable and unnecessary and probably preventable. getting rid of the obsession with guns might be a start.
