(46,192 posts)when society tells a black person that their lives are valued less, that some, even though they shouldn't, think their lives and the lives of other black people are in fact of less value than others?
it must seem like some kind of cruel joke that society can tell a person as who is every bit as equal as another that their life is less valuable because of their skin color --and i mean the cruelty is that some would internalize those thoughts.
in a sense, this is a theme, but you don't want to believe that it's any worse towards a minority --but in every statistic, it's clear that something is going on. people are being harmed on the basis of their skin color in our society, even though our DNA is almost exactly the same.
so there is another explanation, but you are so intent on arguing with me that you do not want to think about what is contributing to that, even though knowing this is the key to fixing it.
