Notice the writer's punctuation of the words "Black" and "white" (as if the logic of the article didn't prove enough ignorance, capped off with a white person who shouldn't have "white pride" wearing a "I love Black People" T-shirt, because if he wore a "I love white people" T-shirt, that would be "racist"), but otherwise, totally unbiased essay ;)
The confusion comes in when people see “Black Pride” and feel that the situation is unfair. As I’ve stated before, the reason Black Pride and white Pride are not the same is sadly because the ability to trace your “Heritage” is very different for the two groups. A white person is much more likely to be able to trace their heritage, down to the letter, than a Black person is. Because many of our ancestors came here as mere cattle, we often have nothing more than a receipt. Tell me, when you bought your lawn mower, did you maintain the records of its creation, trace it’s route to get to you and maintain a paper trail of the metals and parts used to create it in the first place? Not likely. That is how many Black people were entered into this country, as machinery.
