There Isn't A Damn Thing Special About Anybody...Black, Mesican, Whites, Or Real Americans...Nothing

This was triggered by my cousins black husband, he is quite vocal about police racism issues. I take exception to the way he talks about blacks in his posts, and I have taken him to task about his references that make it sound like he believes there is something especially beautiful or special about his people.
The way I put it was to ask him if he thought there was anything particularly exceptional about black people as pertains to them being better than anyone else, what makes them stand out in any way from hispanics, asians, white people, or any other group of people.
He said they have had a rougher time being treated equally, to which I responded so have many other people over the decades in this country...that chinese have been persecuted during the formative years of this country, italians have, polish people have been, etc. etc.
I told him that I agreed that they have had a tough time being treated equally, but that I saw nothing special about them over any other race that has had it harder than white people, and I sure as hell don't think even white people are better than anyone else.
Thinking there is somehow something better about your particular group is where divisions along racial lines start, it's what it is...and this goes toward the idea of reparations as well. I support the idea of programs to help people out of economic poverty, but absolutely am against selecting targeted groups that get help while others that deserve it the same way do not. Don't talk to me about a program that benefits people because their skin is black...that program is needed by any people who are stuck in economic depression, and there are whites there as well.

The first time I can agree with you on an issue. My Bible says we are all the same. Trust me having been through two wars, we all bleed red.

Your Bible also says 8 people got off 'Noah's Ark' a few thousand years ago and repopulated the earth. With a specific people type emerging from each son, with blessings and consequences for each.
We're all the same in that we are all sinners from Adam, and every one has the same salvation. But it ends there.

The only difference in is what is in their heart, there are evil people in all Colors be it white, black, red, yellow or purple. People are all human beings and their heart and their actions define who they are individually, not the Color of their skin. God made all people the same How they treat their fellow human beings is the key.
