Here you are using “black community” in a geographic sense. That is NOT what the PC crowd means...
...of course, you’re correct in that...I was responding to your comment that the ‘black community’ referenced in common parlance has no ‘character, only color’...I get your intention, and agree, but I also strongly submit that a ‘character’ does indeed exist for the concept of ‘racial blackness’, and it has existed for a long time...I’m 64 years old, and I would no more have walked through a black area at 14, because danger would surely have found me, as it would today...this character is a wanton violence unleashed on the ‘non-community’, which I don’t see in the reverse, though they themselves may claim it to be so...
OK. But, what specifically IS that concept, beyond being the underdog and the eternal victim?
We're on two different tracks here. I am examining the corruption of language and the intellectual incoherence that causes. I believe you are speaking to experience on the ground. My daddy raised no fools and I do not knowingly put myself in unsafe situations. There are white neighborhoods (local trailer parks) that I would avoid, day or night.)
My original challenge is to use of the term "black community" by a FReeper who I know to be solid. I challenged it because conservatives get trapped in dialogue by accepting our opponents wrong headed presuppositions.
