A Question for White America

Today’s a new day! I have a question for white Americans. It’s not a trick question or a very difficult question to answer.

When was the last time the white population in America was locked up for simply being white? A will play the Jeopardy theme song for a few seconds to give you time to think…………………………………

Okay, I’m back. How did you do? Ready to share your answer? If your answer is anything, but zero you might need to take a history lesson. Because white people in America have never experienced being locked up simply for being white. Sadly that cannot be said for all. Let’s take a stroll down American History Lane…

Native Americans slaughtered and others put on reservations. Young Indian children sent to boarding schools to “Reeducate” them. Families torn apart forever.

Innocent people from Africa and other non-white countries brought to America and enslaved. Families torn apart forever.

During World War II, Japanese Americans sent to internment camps. Families once again torn apart forever.

Jim Crow laws that discriminated against African-Americans.

None of the groups mentioned above did anything wrong. They just happened to be born something other than white.

So when I hear so many white Americans complaining about their rights being violated or taken away, I encourage you to educate yourself on the true meaning of discrimination in America.

Oh in case anyone is wondering, I am a white American. ~OC
