We have heard the stories of Greenwood (The Black Wallstreet) as well as the Tuskegee Experiment (in Alabama), but I challenge you to focus and think about the damage that was done, to the black men in the experiment, and how eagerly, it was done, and with such hatred, by "white people" of that time. We need to think about the behavior that they grew up believing was acceptable, and how that same behavior continues from generation to generation, and even how, nowadays, we hear some white people say, "But I'm a good person", to which I say, are you. People who are good don't have to say that they are good, others will say it for them. If you have to say that you are a good person, maybe you're NOT.
