” you smell it with your soul”
That is among one of the biggest BS lines I have ever heard. I do not doubt that even in this day and age there are white people that don’t like blacks. However, to say that you can “smell” racists is silly. Perhaps you perceive through non verbal communication that some whites are uncomfortable around you. I believe that may be true. But to rely on such a subjective standard as “smelling with your soul” you open yourself up to misperceptions. Misperceptions such as projecting your fears ad insecurities. misperceptions such as believing their disapproval of you is always racial. Perhaps they dislike what you said. Perhaps they dislike your clothes, or your cologne/perfume. perhaps simply you caught them at a bad moment in their day. To automatically assume this perceived discomfort is racial does both them and you a disservice. I have had females and all kinds of minorities as co workers and supervisors. I have learned to take all of them at their value. Some are smart, some are stupid. Some are mean, some are nice.Some are different things at different times. But they are what they are and their race , ethnicity or gender have nothing to do with it.I always try to be nice at first, but I’m very simple: you get what you give. treat me nice, that’s what you get. Treat me poorly- guess what you got coming. Perhaps some white people are clueless when it comes to racism from other whites. But perhaps the “guilty until proved innocent” perception of racism by some blacks towards whites is clueless sometimes as well?

“Colin Jenkins is an interdisciplinary researcher and writer with a B.A. in Historical Studies and M.A. in Social Policy...”blah, blah, blah.
This a-hole’s list of credentials is UNIMPRESSIVE, as I am CERTAIN he would FAIL “The Black History Test”.

I was just going to say, why isn’t this guy undercover in Compton?
I used to visit my white grandparents there. They barely made it out alive after the blacks took over. They were robbed many times. They were reluctant to give up their home. When my grandfather was beaten nearly to death his children pitched in and bought them a house in Orange County.
This white guy could not walk down any street in Compton and live.
I think a black could walk down most any white neighborhood street without fear.
Have you ever walked into a large, upscale department store and have the security guard follow you all the way through the store? I have. Or let’s say you’re driving a nice car that you bought and paid for, minding your own business, and you get stopped by a cop for no reason. And the first question he asks you is “Who’s car is this?” That’s happened to me twice.
Most white people are just normal, decent folks. But there are still Snakes out there who hate me for the color of my skin.
I’m sorry those things happened to you. Have you ever had people say to your face that you need to go on a diet or why do you eat so much? Have you ever had people, male & female, look down their noses at you or ignore you because you’re overweight? Even customer service and sales people who were hired to serve you. BTW, there’s a reason the loss prevention folks followed you and not me. Do you know what that is?
so prevalent the writer had to go back to 1992 to get the anecdote. “Filled with rage”
Yes, yes, we white folks was so filled with rage here in our small town after the murder of a 77 Year old man at a grocery store Mothers Day Morning that we, that we.....went Hmmmn while watching tv news that night.
No one marched, no one hung nooses at the jail, not one stupid SOB has done anything except wait for the next black on white hate crime in out town.And talk sports.
>>Should white people be allowed to defend themselves against “Black Rage?”<<
Here is a novel idea...”white rage”.
Bout time whites start stopping the whole PC white guilt thang.
This black rage poppy-cock has gone on way too long. I remember all this back when I was in Junior high school.
Gangs of blacks beating up, robbing, spitting on white kids.
Enough is enough.
Does it include being poor white and passed over for blacks living on affirmative action?
The author asserts that “Black Rage is Conscious, Justified, and Long Overdue” but never presents a case for why “rage” is USEFUL. That would require admitting that it is a strategy of extortion through terrorism. The events he cites might have occurred, but he cherishes, fondles and polishes them because his game is to nourish and foment anger. You might expect a college professor to see how self-defeating the rage game has been, and that generalizing guilt onto all members of a racial group because some do evil things, is the essence of bigotry. Instead he revels in irrationality — which actually tells us a lot.
Maybe he is sincere, and thinks it is clever to bring blacks into the anarchist-communist model. Or maybe as a white Marxist chair of the “Social Economics” department at a traditionally black college, he enjoys a good living from exploiting black angst.
You say you can smell racist white people. What do Asians and Hispanics smell like, to you? Do you believe racist thoughts ever pass through your mind, jespasinthru?
These black rage/white privilege idiots think they are the only people on earth who’ve ever suffered anything. They really believe the police only bother black people.
Two examples from my life that mirror this guy’s complaints. As seniors in high school we drove with some girls to view the city from an overlook. The cops stopped us and harassed us for not being in our own towns. When I got out of the car one of the cops pulled his gun on me.
When I was about 9 (just like this guy) a group of black kids armed with sticks with nails “kidnapped” and robbed us. I tricked them into taking us back to my home, where my older brother ran them off.
Stuff happens to everybody.
How, exactly, does “Black Rage” mean they should have children out of wedlock, drop out of school, or rob liquor stores?
F your rage. F your culture. F your tragic past and your angst and your inchoate hatred. The injustices you mention pale beside the systematic murder or whites by blacks, the intimidation and harassment whites suffer every time they walk by a gang of sag-assed hood rats hanging out in front of the local crack house. And every time a white man picks up his paycheck that's 20 percent lighter than it should be because he's paying the rent for people who hate him, he's got a right to rage too. The trouble is, if he dares to express it, he's a "racist" or a "hater."
Tough. It's time it's said. Take your phony outrage and your feeble justifications and pawn them for a case of Colt 45. But don't come around my neighborhood looking for sympathy or another handout.
Colin Jenkins is WHITE, not black .
You cant make this stuff up
I confused “Hampton Institute” with an actual college. Reading Wikipedia (likely he wrote the entry), it’s apparent Jenkins invented his own virtual “working class think tank”. I was right about the anarchist aspect. This trash just wants to use black people to pursue communism.

I lived in Richmond, Virginia at the Sans Souci Apartments, in the 80’s, i.e, the hood, I was the only white guy I ever saw. (geez, and me, without a Dodgers hat)
Have you ever had someone dump trash at your apartment door, or some gangsta tell you that they are going to cap you while riding the bus, or have gangsta’s shoot the pizza delivery guy in a gang initiation, or watch, look- outs with pagers from your living room window, have a half a dozen police cars with swirling lights in the parking lot when you come home from work on a regular basis, or have someone killed on the stairway which leads up to the second floor or have the music so loud you had to sleep in your car in the parking lot. Or be the only white on a bus, and have the black gentleman in front of you, pause and fart in your face.
Yet. I met some wonderful, smart, compassionate people who happened to be black. Looking back, I was lucky to escape that situation, but others who lived there, and hated that culture, could not escape because their color, cautioned anyone with a brain, that they lived in a prison of a failed culture.
I would be enraged too, but enraged at the racial culture guards who perpetuate racial hatred, and claim, everything is whitey’s fault.
Many whites will wait for a new day, but we will not wait forever.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that even in that Compton hell hole there were some wonderful black folk who were just as afraid of the black thugs as my grandparents. Many good blacks live in fear.
Dass ignant.
