Ok, before I start this, I'm not racist, I'm not trying to be racist. But you should not be proud to be white, you should not be ashamed of it either, also you should not be proud to be black or ashamed to be black. No matter what race you are, it should not affect how you feel about yourself because you shouldn't let it define who you are.
Let's say for example you're white and there's a racial protest going on and you stay home, it doesn't make you racist; it means you either don't agree with the protest's views or you're just lazy. If you stay home because of laziness, you're not a saint, but most importantly, you're not a racist. —Anyone who tells you that you have to go anywhere or do anything just because of the color of your skin— is a racist no matter what race that person is.
If you're black and a white person says to you, "you have to feel this way because you're black," it's just as racist as if you're white and a black person says, "you have to feel this way because you're white."
Also regardless of whether or not there is —a cycle of poverty among blacks (if it's happening, it's very sad, but I'm neither confirming or denying it because I don't have the facts)— it doesn't mean that we should hire people more if they're black; that's racist against whites. We should help people who aren't very qualified for jobs but only because they aren't very qualified, and if the —amount of help we give to each unqualified person— is based on —how unqualified he/she is,— guess what? we'll help more black people than white people. And if —more black people than white people— need help, we're —lowering the income gap between different races— without —treating one race better than another.—
So in conclusion, your race shouldn't define who you are and affirmative action should be replaced with —education programs to help people who aren't qualified enough to get hired.—
