When I was a kid back in the '60's, a Black kid said, "I'm gonna show you what your people did to my people" and pushed me down on the playground. I got a concussion. Fortunately, she didn't have the power to make the teacher grade or discipline me unfairly, or to keep my parents from getting a job or a mortgage. She didn’t have the power to raise up a mob to burn my home or my parents’ business. She didn’t have the power to have me wrongly accused, or executed without a fair trial.

That's the difference.

What’s more, she never bothered me before, or again. It was that one incident. Meanwhile, white kids bullied me every day, all day, sometimes causing injury. Was that white on white violence? How come nobody talks about that? Because it’s so normal?
