Learning to let go is much easier coming from a white person as white people are in the majority. No one is trying to minimize the hurt that comes with racial slurs. And for black people, it was more than being called names, and it wasn't all that long ago. People were killed and persecuted because of the color of their skin. There are people alive today who lost family members because of the color of their skin and the violence that erupted from race wars in the 60s. Rodney King and the L.A. riots were a little over a decade ago. Racism, unfortunately, is alive and well in America.
