In reply to Janet.

Being an uncomfortable spectator does not give you the right nor are you qualified to tell black people how they should address racist white people. We've been waiting on white people to comprehend abuse that they inflict upon us for centuries. It's the passive, uncomfortable attitude of white people that still has us ALL here and that forces black people to retaliate in such a way. Raise your consciousness as a white person to understand that t you are outside the conversation. It's not about you and we don't have time for small print or to care about your white feelings. You're either fighting with us or you're on the other side. We're not the ones killing you so toughen up and deal with it. I'm not gonna excuse the white spectators who watched black people get lynched therefore I'm not gonna excuse the white people who passive stood their and commented on the racism without directly responding to an issue. They should of had the black girls back. She shouldn't have felt so alone that she had to put her hands on this overtly racist white woman. It's not my job as a black person (I'm mixed) to excuse you from the list, that's your job. Stay out your white feelings.
