6 Things You Don't Do in Front of White Folks

#4 - I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been surprised to learn that one of my white friends or associates was a Republican. Ugh. It’s a troubling realization. Not only because of the political ideologies; (I don’t understand why folk can’t see the Republicans are just about money.), but also because the Republican party has been known to associate and or attract the type of folk who cling to racist, sexist and classist thoughts and even behaviors. There’s the tea party folk, the Todd Akin type dudes and most recently people who can’t act like they have a modicum of sense or even humanity, at a convention where the party is supposed to be putting their best foot forward. Why didn’t they get the memo that it’s not ok to throw peanuts at a black woman?!

> Do black people really think like this?

There are a lot of white folks who think exactly the same way. In fact, what this man said is almost word-for-word what I hear from some in my family and most of my colleagues. ‘

If these people were honest, they would admit that they’re “all about money”, too.

Difference is where they get it. From working or from the government teat.

“... a bunch of black guys at the tennis courts where I play...”

Now I know you’re lying.

My son used to be a pre-loader for UPS. The pre-loader would pull packages off of a line of moving packages and run them into a UPS truck. They have to move fast to do the job correctly. The people of color would sometimes break out into song and dance ignoring the packages going by. It used to really tick him off because it made more work for him. According to this article, he should have just accepted it as part of their culture.

I will say there are plenty elements about black culture and heritage that a lot of white people know very little to nothing about. And since we don’t have time to educate all of the world’s ignorant, there may be so behaviors we don’t exhibit in the presence of those who just might not understand.

Bigotry and paranoia, pure and simple.

No, my white in-laws think like this too. I’ll be visiting them soon. If they broach the subject, I will gleefully inform them that if I am layed off and forced on the dole, that I will send them weekly thank you letters for their hard earned money that they so willfully voted to distribute to those in an unfair environment. “Dear Cortney & Tamie, early this morning before you head into that miserable Houston Texas traffic, ill be heading out to my newly renovated enclosed sun room as I sit around using my newly purchased tablet in my home with a lowered mortgage rate. Thank you for working so hard and being a team player in that cubicle with no windows. Thanks, for paying my bills and clothing and feeding my kids. I couldn’t have been more happier. I am so glad you voted for Obama, what was I thinking when i chose that evil Bain capital white man! Gotta go?

Maybe she can understand this. There are people of all races in my neighorhood, but I do not think of it as a “mixed” neighborhood, the very same way there are people of all ages in my neighborhood, but I do not think of it as a “mixed” neighborhood or as generationally tolerant. Yes, I do SEE the children, but I don’t see them as little social units that have some sort of political meaning. That is what we mean when we say we don’t see color. We see people as people not as chess pieces. So, sue us. Oh, wait, yeah you do that, huh?

Here's Republican Governor George Wallace standing in a doorway at the University of Alabama making sure that no black students will get in.

And here is Republican Governor Lester Maddox and his son about to teach this black man not to walk in front of his restaurant again.

And here is Republican Governor Orval Faubus making sure that no blacks are admitted to the white high school in Little Rock.

It would take the forceful action of Democrat President Dwight Eisenhower to ensure that Arkansas schools would be integrated.

Not all. But....

My neighborhood became diversified and I get to see the mindset up close. Too close...

Republicans want to keep the money that they earn.
Democrats want to take the money from them and give it to people who vote democrat.

Not true. Some of the best players I've ever played against are black. At that court in New Haven the sole black Supreme Court Justice for the state of CT plays there.

Then there is the ATA (American Tennis Association) founded to counter the USTA who wouldn't allow blacks at the time if its formation.

I have difficulty taking a person as anything other than a jackass who describes people as “Todd Akin type dudes”.

Like I said, it was a joke. I personally know some black people who play tennis. I was just trying to lighten up the thread.

It is a joke. I’ve met Malivai Washington on a number of occasions.
