Why is it IF A PERSON HAS ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A BLACK PERSON, THE ENTIRE BLACK RACE IS BLAMED? Why is it IF A PERSON HAS ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WITH A WHITE PERSON, THE ENTIRE WHITE RACE IS NOT BLAMED?
People don't chose their skin color! White people are privelged in that they don't have to worry about the actions of one person in their racial community. A white person can go on a shooting spree, and no one will call the white race violent. If a black person goes on a shooting spree, everyone will call the black race violent.
Even though America has a black president, RACE continues to negatively impact the African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Arab/Muslim communities in this country. No one gets judged as an individual if you are NOT WHITE.
