To elaborate, they're of course not, but nothing is stopping from feeling both. You're maybe being excessively cynical about this, most people are capable of empathy and they give a shit. I'm not a particularly emotional person as most here have probably guessed, but I get emotional watching those videos about Flynn, that bitch at central park and the various attacks against civilians in the riots. I can't even imagine what they feel like for black people living through that shit. I don't feel directly guilty for it, not even my ancestors have been part of any of that, but I do acknowledge I'm one lucky fuck for having been born at this place and to these parents. No, I haven't been handed any medals, handouts or stipends, but I've evaded most handicaps existing for humans.
