These types of people have nothing useful or of any intelligence to teach white people, except to avoid these kinds of people altogether.

Think of it this way: I may not have ever had a professional baseball player sit me down and explain the rules and the history of the game, but I’ve still managed to learn the difference between a “ball” and a “strike.”

Neither do professional baseball players expect ignorance of "their game" to be a punishable offense.

America should be more like Detroit? Or maybe Kenya?

This person has it backwards. People of Color, lesbians etc. etc. are expected to meet and adhere to societal norms of the majority population not to go off and create their own expecting the rest of society to honor their “individuality”. That is why among other reasons I don’t paint myself blue and run around cutting off heads like my Celtic ancestors (although with idiots like these it can seem like a good idea) .

‘Think of it this way: I may not have ever had a professional baseball player sit me down and explain the rules and the history of the game, but I’ve still managed to learn the difference between a “ball” and a “strike.” ‘

The analogy works because if the umpires keep changing their zones, and the rules committee is too arrogant to issue guidelines, the so-called unknowing person won’t ever play or watch the game.

And so we should not.

Stupid the first time - stupid the second time.

.............................

I didn’t see it the first time, and I’m not going to read more than the first sentence the second time. The first sentence starts off with one of those liberal assertions that you can tell makes sense to a liberal but actually is bald-faced stupid beyond words.

Stupid is as stupid writes.

Well I don’t know.

I certainly learned a LOT about toxic black culture during the ‘St Trayvon’ and ‘Gentle Giant Michael Brown’ fiascoes.

Those guys taught us so much.

For instance: about whining irresponsibility and drug-fueled violence.

What Kali Holloway needs to understand is Republicans freed the slaves, fought Jim Crow and passes the epic Civil Rights legislation.

Democrats were the KKK in the South, they ran the White Citizens Councils and modern Democrats elected a KKK member to run the Senate - Robert Byrd.

Martin Luther King Jr was a Republican.

Bull Conner was a democrat.

George Wallace was a democrat.

Hollings was a Democrat.

The ONLY democrat politician that ‘switched’ to Republican was Lester Maddox.

The only thing I would like to ‘learn’ from Kali Holloway is why black people vote Democrat - considering the history of blacks and dems... AND why they stay with democrat considering how little progress has been made in the last 40 years.

Dear Kari:

If you don't know how to swim, take lessons. And then - long walk, short pier.

Thank you POC for your advancements in science, technology and medicine. Thank you for flight, space exploration, schools,books, the assembly line, the combustion engine, harnessing electricity, indoor plumbing, agriculture, food distribution, the internet, thank you for feeding the masses and especially, the concept that we have a god given right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

White people have much to learn.
