We must be color brave
And that means what? Blacks should be able to dominate whites and we must say “thank you”?
I do not like that "we" language. You assume that all of Free Republic is white, which is not the case.
There can be speculation on what anyone's true motives are. For me, it pretty much resolves back to content of character.
I recognize in myself the ability and tendency to make excuses for myself. I cannot say, with any degree of certainty, that if I were a black man, I would not rely on my color to excuse my own failings.
I hope and pray that I would not. I would hope that my parents had instilled in me the precepts of character that form a man fit to live in a free society. At the top of the list is taking responsibility for my own actions and refusing to allow others to define who I am.
