Jarrett, It is very difficult for me, as a white male, to talk about racism. The only reason it’s difficult for me to talk about is because I’m white. For the simple fact that white dudes years ago were the oppressors, I automatically take that position. It’s strange because, even tho my three best friends are hispanic, asian, and black, and I date an african american woman, I’m still labeled. As far as the ‘apology’ goes, I don’t have anything to apologize for, because I didn’t do anything. I am oppressed for what was done by people that lived years before I was born, think about how that has to feel.
