You will never understand

“Oh, come on, it’s not like that,” said a friend to me my first semester of college. I didn’t want to get out of the car in this rural Missouri town. In my mind I could hear that creepy banjo twang from Deliverance; and the scenery looked just like the town from Children of the Corn.
She didn’t understand my uneasiness though. She was a white woman. She was free to go wherever she pleased; if she went missing the media would coddle her and Lifetime would make a movie about how precious she was. If I went missing, they’d probably dig into my files and find out how much trouble I got into in high school; I probably did something dumb to deserve it. Because whites are victims of crimes, but Blacks are inherently bad.
Being Black in America isn’t something whites will ever understand. Some will sympathize, but most will try hard to convince you that it’s all in your head. They’ll preach about black-on-black crime as if white people don’t kill each other. They will tell you that our president is Black, so it’s all equality, all the time. They’ll call you divisive, angry, polarizing. Their bubble of white privilege is all encompassing; they can’t hear the anguish and the cries from us.
But they’ll never understand. They won’t know what it’s like to have their child murdered in broad daylight just for the media to slander him. They won’t hear that twinge of fear in their mother’s voice when she says “Be careful!” to her son when he’s leaving the house because she knows that Blackness is a crime. They won’t know what it’s like to be worth so little, that there won’t even be a trial for the white man that killed you.

Ferguson and racist America
Posted on September 29, 2014 by nathaliehb
I’ve written this several times because I was having trouble putting my thoughts in order. When I shared my frustrations with a friend she asked me, “Well, what’s bothering you the most about this?”
Everything about Ferguson is bothering me, but what is getting under my skin and leaving me sitting at my computer angry, confused and hurt is the fact that people are denying that this has anything to do with race. These are the same kind of people who believe that since we officially abolished slavery and I can drink out of whatever water fountain I want, we’re living in a post-racial America.
These people couldn’t be more wrong.
Mike Brown is another unarmed young black man murdered by police for committing the heinous crime of being black.Some will argue that he had just shoplifted at a convenience store, or was smoking weed, or that he liked to write raps filled with swear words.
None of these are offenses punishable by death.
When the residents of Ferguson gathered in mostly peaceful protests, they were met with heavily militarized police forces. Rubber bullets and tear gas rained down upon citizens protesting a gross injustice. When Cliven Bundy refused to pay his taxes like the rest of us, all his cronies gathered on his ranch with guns and threatened federal agents; they were met with…Fox News commentators calling them patriots.
Is that not a double standard?
When gun enthusiasts showed up at Target with very real guns and basically scared the shit out of everyone, they screamed about the second amendment and everyone politely nodded in agreement. When John Crawford stood in a Wal Mart aisle with a very not real toy gun, he was gunned down by police.
How is that post-racial America working out for you?
The media found the few looters in Ferguson and zeroed in on them. Look away from the peaceful protesters! Instead, look at these thugs! These criminals! Send in the National Guard! When the Penn States students rioted over the firing of a football coach, they were just wacky college kids.
Race still matters in a huge way.
Yes, we’ve made some strides. Some of the most racist policies are gone now—though etched in American history in shame—but the residual effects are still present. Racist housing policies that kept us from acquiring wealth has kept us in poverty. Racist schooling policies have kept us from succeeding and kept our unemployment levels flourishing.
Ugly media narratives have kept us from being seen as anything but criminals and thugs who deserve death. Yet another black kid is dead and his white killer walks free, with the police preferring to treat citizens like animals than arrest him.
This has everything to do with race.
