>As I watch the news I can't help but think maybe this isn't such a bad thing.

Is this a round about way of saying 'if all the white people died it would fix our problems'?

I personally don't think it's a very helpful sentiment to say things like "If this group of people didn't exist, we wouldn't have a problem".

Nope, I've seen racism perpetrated by people of every color to know that wouldn't solve anything. I guess it's an emotional response to the situation in our country today. I'm frustrated and sad that people who look like me have done and are doing so much bad stuff to people of color.

When you boil it down, much of the bad that's being done is in the name of "preserving the white race" or some such. I don't think it's a bad thing to preserve the memory of my ancestors, but if the only way to do that is to hurt other people I don't think it's worth it.

Yes, as can be clearly seen on the street in Mumbai ... or the Damascus (or frankly, the same thing can be seen in Paris). And those are just the ones I've visited.
