I was typing out more, but it ended as a rehash of lil's comment. Let's see how I can try to add more. 1: Humanodon's comment was posted in the "emotional scars" thread, which shows that it was caused by something that did the scarring. 2: Let's assume that it was racism by white people that did it. 3: You said "That's racist". You're not wrong, but you're missing the context of the discussion here. "I don't trust white people" can be assumed to mean "I don't trust white people because I think that they're going to be racist like other white people I've known and treat me badly". It's not phrased as something to be proud about, or something to copy. It's an admission of an "emotional scar", like in the thread name. It's something sensitive. It's not the thread to argue with people about what's right or what's wrong. It's about listening to people. EDIT: I need to post faster. I run out of time to butt in.maybe he realizes it's wrong
