One of the wisest things I've ever heard is "White people should be lucky that black people only want equality, revenge would be perfectly understandable at this point."

The more I learn about black history, as in the history of what white people have been doing to black people since the latter was dragged kicking and screaming to America, the more I appreciate the phrase. It's honestly some of the most horrific shit I've ever had the displeasure of learning.

And just to clarify. I'm not black, I'm a pale transchick from the 90's who's whiter than sour cream, I've seen Wayne's World 69,420 times and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.

If you really want to be disgusted read A People's History by Zinn

One of my favorite books! It’s arguably what led to my radicalization.
