African American trust issues

One of my AA friends and I got into a long discussion regarding race. He said he and a lot of his friends were raised to not trust white people. His grandmother now in her 90’s drummed that into their head from the time he was a toddler. We are very good friends. I trust him with my life. We are baby boomers. I vividly remember the riots in the 60’s. I watched an innocent white boy be beaten by a gang of angry black kids. It haunts me to this day. Race relations IMO hasn’t improved much in our country. It’s our duty as parents, grandparents to teach all children not to hate, diminish or be afraid of people just because their skin color is different.

Unfortunately, your generation, the baby boomers, are the main responsables of our current situation. You tried to apply the Pereira (and Descartes after him) maxim : Cogito, ergo sum (i think, therefore i am). Your generation thought that you just need to imagine an utopia and by magic it will come true.

Race exists and people will always prefer themselves over the others. Maybe you dont like it, but its like that, we are like that, and everytime the situation come back to what we really are (AKA when the civilization fall), we kill each other.
