@snood,
A) There's no one named Aiden on this forum (that I've seen). My name is Rebecca and I'm part of the solution. Interesting how you could spell it correctly on the other thread when you said I was entitled to my opinon, but now you can't spell my name and can't give me my opinion without accusing me of not caring or acting.
B) I'm not complicit with these people. I'm not and haven't been standing around wringing my hands. I married a black man and gave birth to one interracial child and adopted another so she wouldn't have to grow up in foster care.
I've worked my entire career with poor, black people.
Who the **** are you accusing of apathy, complicity and complacency?
C) Many times when people have to stop for a minute and explain WHY they think something, they realize there is actually no good reason for them to have those thoughts.
THAT's why I would have asked them WHY.
D) We're all products of our environments and experiences. If a particular mix of environment and experience results in pathology in a society, if we can identify and isolate the causatives and try to change those, we can address and try to redress said stew of negative influences to try to change the eventual overall outcome.
Or we could just do it your way and say, 'I don't give a **** why ya'll are so messed up - shut the **** up and get out of my face- I don't have time for this ****', (even though it's making the lives of people I care about miserable).
E) The respondents to your survey were labelled as being Republicans. There was no indication anywhere that I saw or read in the link you provided that said they were WHITE REPUBLICANS.
You inserted that in your own thinking just as you inserted and read apathy, complacency and complicity in my response.
You need to get over yourself. You're not the only person in the world in an interracial marriage and you're not the only person in the world who cares as much as you do and who knows how everyone else in the whole world should think or react to create change in society.
