Dumb question, but what accounted for the deep seated irrational hatred of blacks by whites? Looking back it's baffling and disturbing to me that one group of people could hate another group that hadn't done anything to them and just wanted to continue their lives. The way white people have treated black people historically, you'd think it was blacks that enslaved whites and enacted Jim Crow laws.
1) Dey's afta our White Women!
2) Dey's afta our jobs!
3) Dey's got no rights we's bound to respect!
4) If you ain't betta than a n----- you ain't nuthin!
5) Der's some who's gots it better den me! A White Man!
6) Dey's the Sons a' Cain!
7) Dey's don't know dey's place!
8) Dey's think dey can vote, like as if dey's was White or sumthin' (a)
9) We knows what happened the LAST time dey's got too uppity! (b)
a) Many Southern Whites were willing to surrender thdere own franchise, if it meant keeping ALL Blacks from voting.
b) I'll give you three guesses what that means, but you'll only need one
1-9 are just those that come out of my mind right off the bat.
Why all this? In truth, hate has no reason, or any true cause. Not at a distance of a 150 years. Hate has goals, mostly revenge goals. But revenge is never satisfied. You could capture the murderer of you own child, put him in a torture chamber for the next 50 years, but not one day will pass with you gaining any sense of self-satisfaction. Because nothing will bring your child back.
No one can ever forgive those he has wronged.
Poignant statement.

Is it yours? I'd say its more a matter of never TRUSTING those you have wronged. Because you will always know that payback is a bitch.
