I was raised to believe everyone deserved respect until they proved differently. All I've ever done is participate in society as a law abiding citizen. Paid my taxes. Went to work. Raised my kids. Volunteered at my church. Am I supposed to feel bad just because I happen to be white? I don't think I will.
All I've ever done for much of my adult life is participate in a society that is hating me for my color, where I was raised not to see any. Which is now considered racist, as they redraw the lines every time.
