Affirmative Action unleashed
THat man cracks me up!
Caught that and corrected it in #13. :-)
My comment was a play on your words and the blatant or rather naked racism of narcissistic martyrdom exhibited by the reporters.
It's as if they have an uncontrollable need to climb up on their crosses and looking over all they see from up high “I see white people”.
Every one is going crazy telling everyone about their experience with racism.
Get over yourself and move on. Plenty of us have had incidences that didn't settle well and being taken advantage of because of your race, something you cannot control, is more than unsettling and wholly unfair.
So I ask: Is racism your narrative that defines you. Has your person hood been held down or the pain of an experience been so horrible that the rest of us have to pay for what some asshole did to you/
Think about it, “What some asshole did to you”. How is the rest of white America responsible for your pain?
We didn't cause it, we don't endorse it and certainly repudiate. It is an anathema to us not because of your ancestors or your skin color. The fact of the matter is that a whole human would find it unacceptable to exert their will over another simply because of race.
Heck I keep thinking we are sohhh, beyond this but, there you are promoting...No hustling the rest of us and demanding we sympathize with the black experience and perform an appropriate empathetic “Ohhh, I am so sorry”.
Sorry for what? We weren't there and you should read the above to refresh your memory.
We, that is, the rest of us were not there and we are not responsible for what happened in your life.
Hence my statement, “There it is”
(rant off)
Probably 50. He's the first black president, and if this keeps up he will be the last one too. Everyone I talk to, black and white, has the same reaction.
