Can racially tolerant whites help end racism?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Funny, I had a similar situation to the linked video recently. Except the customer was wrongly taking offense. At a corner store, I (white guy) was behind two black teens in line. They paid with a credit card. The clerk asked for an ID. “We’re not buying alcohol.” “I know. We ask for ID with a credit card.” And the kids are visibly annoyed, looking at each other with a skeptical look of, “Yeah, right, sure they do”. So I chimed in. “They do it to me, too. They do it to everybody.” Which is true. I have no doubt those kids get un-earned suspicion from store owners, but this was not one of those times. Outside, as we all left, they said, “Have a good afternoon, dude” to me. Anyway, I don’t think we’re going to end racism. We can lessen it, but unfortunately people are easily led by emotion and tribalism.
