No, actually she LOVES herself SO much she thinks we should all think, act, and say everything she thinks we should. Self love at the expense of loving anyone else
“Translation: I was glad to get out of that hell hole D.C. and into a nice, hip, mostly white neighborhood, but I wasn’t about to set aside my racial resentment and hostility.”
Unless things have drastically changed since I left NYC, Bed Sty is anything but a white neighborhood. In fact it was one of the most dangerous and crime ridden areas in the country and essentially a no-go zone for whites”
“Race-obsessed black girl looking for some excuse to pick a fight with her non-black roommates.”
More like race crazed, and I’m sure her roomies are counting the days until they can get out of their lease so they can get away from the black minefield they live with.
“Sounds like she has a classic case of “Failure to Integrate.””
Sounds like segregation would be a utopia for her, where she wouldnt have to deal with whitey. That is until it turned into a cesspool due to the lack of white people to keep everything running.
I grew up in Brooklyn. The Jamaicans hated the blacks.
“I longed to crawl to my tiny black universe.”
Sounds like she never left it. She didn’t want a “conscious conversation” so much as an abject white guilt apology.
“Unless things have drastically changed since I left NYC”
Things have drastically changed since you left NYC:

“Things have drastically changed since you left NYC:”
Thanks. That’s quite a change. Still wouldn’t live their though.
She views the entire world through the eyes of race.
If you substituted black for white and white for black in that essay, you’d think she was a white supremacist.
She is a bigot and a racist.
Blacks are all for diversity as long as everyone else agrees with them.
They don’t want a “conversation” on race, they want a “lecture.” With them doing the “lecturing.”
“Things are calm right now at the apartment. I don’t bring up these sorts of conversations.”
I hope her roommates are smart enough not to sign another lease with this tedious loon. They should start looking for another place to rent that does not include Prissy right away.
Tell me about it. I live in a neighborhood that was “gentrified”, though it was from ethnic working class white to yuppie, instead of from black to yuppie. Still, it’s plenty annoying to wade through them on the streets.
The worst part is that they ruined the local OctoberFest that is held a block from my house. It use to be a nice hopping celebration with friendly people from all ages, good food, and good beer. Now, with all the yuppie suckers, they have doubled the prices on everything and so many people cram in there you can hardly find a spot to dance to the “oompah” band.
If all black chicks are like this, could you blame them?
Wow...this is so ignorant on so many levels I don’t know where to begin.
What she doesn’t realize is...she’s a racist. She sees the world through her “black” point of view and can’t understand non-blacks. Just MAYBE the light bulb should go off and realize she’s buying into a load of crap. It’s NOT because these other people are ignorant it’s because SHE IS - believing a bunch of nonsense, along with “my people” and “my culture”...yeah, I know, it’s wrong of you to “act white” right? Maybe this black culture you’ve immersed yourself in does you no favors at all. Please, go to Africa - go and see your “history” and “your kind” - she won’t like what she sees, they’re nothing like her.
Poor thing.
“I don’t talk about what happens every 28 hours — a black person is killed.”
By whom?
Reminds of when I worked for the PR group at MSFT. The director of the Diversity program (a black woman) complained to me that she didn’t enjoy her vacation in the Virgin Islands because there were not enough black people there. Imagine what would have happened had I, a white woman said that re: not enough white people.
I agree. Got about 3/4 of the way through the article counting person pronouns (I, me, my...)and just had to stop. There were over 84 of them. Another narcissistic rant.
Thank you. I was thinking of posting that at Salon as well, but it doesn’t look like there’s any way to do it other than to post using your Facebook account.
I have to think carefully about that. Sad but true. After all, I might “offend” with what I wrote and so, if my real identity is associated with it (even if it’s not objectively offensive which I don’t see it that way) it could still have lasting reprocussions.
Sad isn’t it? To have a *real* conversation about race, one has to be willing to risk “offending”, but so few are willing to accept offense in the name of such progress. Also, the fact I hesitate just because I may suffer reproussions sickens me. If I’m not alone in such hesitancy (and I suspect I’m not) the thought police have already won.
We’ll see I’m still mulling it over.
Thanks again.
