Unfortunately I think my relationship is coming to an end. Yesterday my girlfriend and I were talking by phone and a preview for the new movie 12 years of slaves came on. She said she did not want to see it and when I said neither did I she got upset. Its hard to explain my reason but I'll try. To me what happen to the people of time is hard to watch. I understand it happened and they are telling the truth but its still hard to watch. She basically called me a racist for my thinking. In case I did not say it before she is black and I am white. She got so angry at me she said the following quote " All white people have it easy. It is the black people that have to struggle. You will never understand what it is like to be a black person and I thank God I will never understand what it's like to be a white person.". To me this is more racist than I have ever been in my entire life. I look at her differently now and unfortunately its not in a good light. I always thought we could handle the differences in our races but unfortunately I guess I was wrong. |
