When you look at the history and look at things now, I can't really blame some members of the black community being embittered by it all. As a white person it's infuriating to witness racism but I can't imagine the feeling of actually experiencing it.

Yeah, maybe white people can't suffer hate as a whole (although, there is still a lot of hate for them out there. just look at social media), but they can still have racist things said to them and be hated on for their skin colour... which is all I'm saying. You can say racist things no matter what colour you are.
