‘For the rest of your life’ that broke my Heart

[@jessicaknight788]

Yes....the rest of his life because evil exists in the fallen world...but we have hope through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who loves us purely. We are made in His image and he died to give us the healing of our hearts, souls, and bodies. Don’t look to humans to fulfill that need. They can’t. She is is expecting from the wrong source...He is the source.

[@jlheathfam2]

Me as well, but part of the sadness is the inculcation of the idea that when someone stops you, it's solely because of race. That's also a sad, single-minded way of thinking that will be untrue more often than not, even though sometimes it is.

I think it is wrong to generalize all people of one race as alike, knowing or not knowing the same things. I am half Italian and half Irish, so I am categorized as white. Here's an interesting bit: I have had Black people tell me that Italians are not white. This is not true; I do not know where they got that idea. Anyway, I have three children and a grandchild. All are adults. My first born in 1972, had a Chinese father. She married a Black man and they had a son together. My second child born in 1980, has a Black father. She decided not to have children. She works with young children every day. My third child, a son born 1985, had a Puerto Rican father. He has blue eyes from a recessive gene. I knew nothing of recessive genes until he was born. A recessive gene can occur when a child has a grandparent on EACH side (cannot be two grandparents on one side) so my Irish mother had blue eyes; his dad's father was a blue eyed Puerto Rican. So a blue eyed grandparent on each side; my son inherited a recessive gene for blue eyes. A lot of folks do not know that Puerto Ricans can have blue eyes. Anyway, having Black people in my immediate family, I am pretty familiar with Black people. I also lived with my kids in a 99% Black neighborhood for 16 yrs. During that time the area became integrated with white people who had a bit more money to invest into the area (also known as gentrified) which was two sides of the coin, loss of families and low income people, along with improvements to infastructure, bigger tax base to pay for improvements (schools, play grounds, street lights, new businesses to create jobs, ect.) so I had Black friends, dated Black men (I was a single mother) and I've always liked Black people anyway and always had Black friends, before moving to that neighborhood. And no, none of my children are adopted; I gave birth to all of them at home with Midwives. I added that bit because I had people ask me if they were adopted! If my kids were white, they would have never asked. One more thing: My son has Black 10% Spanish not sure the percentage, Taino (the tribe in Puerto Rico before the Spanish invasion and colonization, which included the import of Black African slaves) Most of his genetics on his father's side is likely Taino. So my point is I'm not a "typical" white person (if there is such a thing) so please do not generalize.

@@hooleyqueenWhile I appreciate your family tree and your statement about how it is wrong to generalize, you are missing so much of the point. Congratulations on your ecclectic racial experience, however, you are an anomooooly in your familial make up, therefore have a different experience. It is safe to say that the points Amy made to ring true for the general population of White and Black individuals in America. In a talk such as the one Amy provided, she cannot address everyone's unique situation and to focus on the piece you address here is to miss the important educational points Amy was trying to make. I would suffice to say had you listened with learning ears you may not have made some of the statements you made here. One of the very first rules of thumb in interacting with Black people is not to talk about all the ways you know what it is to be Black or the experience of Black people. So I am really clear that your comments were really about you and not at all about what Amy was speaking about. My motto..."Seek understanding" rather than "Spout your knowledge & miss an opportunity to learn and grow!

What she did was generalize. Can't do without it, we wouldn't see the big picture without it. Categorization is inevitable to organize your thoughts, never mind the debating and presenting your idea to others. She's right about color-blindness being a regressive thing. Pretending there is no difference among people of any different backgrounds is plain false. Ignoring differences is just stupid. I guess you're also american, as dogma about races and racism is so messed up in your nation, it's sometimes ridiculous reading it. I didn't hear nothing offensive, and critique of society done honestly is generally a necessary thing for everyone. If loving, truthful, well thought trough discourse offends you, it is purely your, and only your problem. Not your fault, as media and society around you have etched these notions of offense and trigger words into your subcouncious from your birth.

"We say hello to each other. We acknowledge each other with a smile or head nod. It is a sign of respect. It doesn't really mean "hi" I mean it means hi but it means more than hi, it means I see you , you are human" This statement DOES translate over. This tells me she as probably only experienced "city life" mostly in her life. If you go to a smaller town one thing people with notice if they are from a larger town/city is how many people simply wave at you or give you a head nod that means exactly the same as she described. She talks about "culture" as being owned by different ethnic groups but "people" living in different areas have different "cultures". The biggest "well known" culture divide amongst people of the same race in the US is Northern and Southern "culture". A white person living in New York City lives in and has a complete different "culture" and abides by completely different "social rules" than a white person living in a smaller more rural town. So..... If Amy comes here and gives me a "head nod", not only would I understand what it "means" but she would get one back that means the exact same thing!

I never heard of any Black person who does not also do so, but now I know!) 😆The "time" point was also moot --- one cannot compare professional standards of "being on time" to not arriving on time for parties. 🙂Black Economic scholars assert (& I agree) that healing U.S. (& world) economic disparities between White vs. Black people will affect the most profound changes.

We all have to pretend to like people around us regardless of skin color. I found the comment about white people needing to love other white people regardless of how terrible white people really are, appalling . You are entitled to sell your home to whom ever you want and you don’t have to feel guilty because your parents left you an inheritance. As far as time is concerned , on time is on time and your own fluid interpretation does not dictate the reality of time. Hotels don’t have to get special shampoo for Black hair, neither do they have to get shampoo for oily hair or dyed hair or thin hair. The rest of the world is not responsible for internalizing the dynamics of your family or your community. It’s your responsibility to learn our common culture, and yes our common culture is heavily influenced by European Judeo-Christian Western values because the USA is and has always been a white majority. We don’t need to apologize for this reality. It’s dismissive and condescending to say white students in advanced classes are not really more intelligent or gifted. It may be that these classes should contain more Black and Brown students but this doesn’t mean we need to diminish the achievements of white students. If your kid’s friends were drinking, the probability of him drinking as well is rather high. Furthermore, police officers showing interest in your child is not a negative thing, unless that’s the spin you want to put on it. You didn’t say anything that substantiated the idea that the police were harassing your son. Oh and I’m not white.

As a white woman from the South, I was curious about what Amy had to say. She is correct in what she said. We really can’t identify with what a black child has to know to survive about our society in general in the US. That conversation was never taught to us or was even thought of growing up as a white child. I notice that it’s slowly changing in our community but racism is still strong especially with the older generations who grew up being taught (even subtly or unaware) to be racist. It really opened my eyes that we need to change in order to survive and thrive and truly love one another. We need to look into each other’s eyes more often and see the person inside their skin. I really liked that example.

I was raised in the south by a mother from eastern Europe.

Quite the contrary: Mom's teaching innoculated us against racism, and I can easily recognize racism when I see it - and I have even fought against it.

[@jlheathfam2]

Definitely agree that any church must teach us to love one another, looks and color and hairstyle and clothing choices aside. That being said, there's no need to condescend. It is all of our responsibility to teach each other to love when we have the opportunity, skin color be darned. It's not as if white people can't love and are expecting black people to bring in their expertise. Far more white people love others including black people than black people realize. Sometimes we can get so ingrained in family stories that include terrible experiences of the past that we don't look up and accept the love that is already there. Are some white people guilty of hatred and selfishness? Of course. As are some black people. We are all sinners in some way or another. So singling out white people as a "them" that don't know how to love when it may be the perpetuation of racist stereotypes about white people that is the wall between you doesn't make sense. It makes me sad to hear black folks say they expect others not to like them. But it's not because people don't inherently like them. Expect to be liked, and it changes one's confidence. We can't live in fear. Sure, there may be someone who doesn't like us, and not for a good reason. That is our universal experience, color aside. But most people will!!

Why can't you just acknowledge what she is saying, trying to see from her perspective (which apparently seems very hard ) and ask so how can we work things out how can we, where do we go from there to make things better for both parties. And this is something you rarely hear from the Caucasian side. Always trying to justify or challenge what the black are saying about their experiences I mean why not just listen and work together to improve things? She is not being condescending she says what she is going through. I mean were the caucasians victims of slavery? No. Are they been denying jobs because of their names? No. Are the young caucasians males being shot by the police at the same rate than the black? No. So if the black community want to tell you what they are going through I mean why do you have to keep questioning that?

I totally agree with you Cecilia, people need to put their lives in their own hands instead of just sitting at home taking from the government and complaining about it. No one said it was easy but it can be done and if you have a problem knowing what’s right then talk to councilors, weather it be academically or personal, there is help, look for it. It’s easy to do nothing, but not rewarding. When you make a life for yourself then you have something to be proud of.

@@damienpeters6758 You ask how? ... while using a tool (computer / cell phone) that is hooked up to literally all of human knowledge. This tool is so powerful it would literally make you a GOD 200 years ago if you had it functioning in your hand. There is NO EXCUSE. Instead of perpetuating things that bring "you" down, Search out things and people that bring you up. The US culture, and Especially Blac culture says to heck with personal responsibility. That is probably the biggest issue we all face. And NO ONE said anything was easy. I for one have spent many many many hours talking to, showing by example, and making my 21 yo son learn to be a good person, who works hard and does the right thing. ALWAYS. He can't dance the latest TicToc dance, knows the words to ZERO songs like Cardi B. .... nice taste of culture. He never did a Tide Pod challenge. Priorities are important. WE packed up the Toyota Sienna Van and traveled 20,000 miles around the US and Canada for his Graduation Present stopping at hundreds of museums, talked with anyone who would spare a minute, and soaked up a lifetime of knowledge in 3 months.

@@angieponders3844 ?? What are you talking about? No one is saying that you shouldn't talk about everyone's trauma. But some people have SPECIFIC trauma. If for example we talk about abuse. I can say we are specifically talking about emotional abuse, WE ARE TALKING about that SPECIFICALLY. That doesn't mean that sexual abuse, mental abuse or physical abuse isn't IMPORTANT neither does it NEGATE its effects or negate the idea that it is all abuse. But THE TOPIC is sexual abuse, just like in this context, it is the trauma faced SPECIFICALLY by Black people. What is your problem really and truly? Also I must say saying you're Black doesn't mean a thing, it doesn't add to your credibility and I think it is laughable that you clearly think it does, I mean regardless of the "amount of melanin" in your skin, your words don't hold any more weight because of your race. It's about what you know, and you clearly don't know very much and you don't appreciate the importance of talking about SPECIFIC things, you think the only way things can be discussed is if they are super broad and never touch on specifics, a very big shame.

Do you know why I don't spend a lot of my free time searching for unicorns? Because I've never seen any conclusive proof that unicorns exist. It's for this same reason that I don't get "more excited about Jesus". I'd honestly like to know why you believe that the books in the Bible are accurate accounts of actual events. Because the Bible says it's true? If you know your Bible then you know 1st Peter 3:15..." Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" So what's your reason as an intelligent, reasonable and logical adult who has had the benefit of at least 12 years of primary education? Faith? What good is faith? Faith is belief in the absence of evidence. If someone asked you to prove something and you had irrefutable evidence, you'd merely present the evidence and be done with it, you wouldn't need faith at all. Isn't knowing whether something is true or not important to you?

Your right. and i really don't believe her kid didn't drink with his friends . Just my thoughts. Many people today have this sense of entitlement for whatever reason . I have never heard of a police officer bothering a kid that was sitting at a bench studying, or drinking a soda with a hamburg., They just don't do it. Regardless of what color they are. What bothers me is the same as you. If people had jobs and were watching over their kids , making sue they studied etc. Telling them they have to respect adults . (Teachers , priests, police, parents, etc) it would help . instead of telling them they arent going to be treated the same as other races. Who could look at the a child and say that? Yea..if your going to be a gang member . go around robbing people, skipping school ..doesn't matter what race you are your not going to be too popular . There's no reason for all this race talk. It onlt creates problems that shouldn't be there . There's whites too that make it a family tradition to stay on welfare. Think nothing of it. WE pay higher taxes so they can.
