Partisan political differences aside, I thought this essay struck a right tone unlike so much other stuff out there.

Racialists have been complaining about poor Barbie when I was still playing with her. More fake news from the Duchess who will soon be seen on Mustique getting her toes sucked by a ball boy.

Perhaps, but most of us are burned out with discussions about race. We’re just tired of hearing about it.

Surprisingly thoughtful and well written. I especially like how she mentions both Rodney King and Reginald Denny in the same sentence.

Sadly every example she shared is about race. The left is obsessed with race. It’s like there is no room for anything else....not love, not compassion, not skill, not character - it’s sad because they miss so much of the beauty of life.

...many households may never have had a black person in their house as a guest, or someone biracial. Well, now there are a lot us on your TV and in your home with you...I was looking for the rest of it - "so nyah, nyah, nyah, get used to it" - and there's where I confess my sensitivity comes in - people should be allowed to interact with whomever they want, regardless of race - but they shouldn't have interactions forcefed to them, and that's what I'm getting from my TV lately, especially the commercials - to watch the TV ads, this is no longer a country with about 12% blacks - it is at least 50-50 black-white - it seems all white grandparents have a black grandchild, every couple is biracial, every social gathering is exquisitely balanced in its makeup of whites and blacks -
The Asian guy has a McDonald's hamburger and is left speechless by how delicious it is - the white guy has a McDonald's hamburger, and can't speak to say how good it is - it takes two blacks, Charles Barkley and Gabrielle Union, to show up and find just the right words to eloquently tell us how great those hamburgers are -
The attractive black woman sitting on her just- delivered Raymour and Flanigan furniture smiles to herself as she looks out the window and watches the dumb white couple next door struggle to assemble their new furniture, obviously purchased someplace not Raymour and Flanigan -
The attractive black woman in the Liberty Mutual ad tells you firmly that if your insurance company doesn't pay off the way they should, you clearly bought your insurance from the wrong company, while the dumb white guy in another ad gets so mad at the money he wasted with his not Liberty Mutual insurance company that he says that he might as well have thrown his wallet into the harbor and promptly does so, catching his mistake only after the wallet leaves his hand -
The attractive black woman working for PECO smiles indulgently while on the phone helping the dumb white guy on the other end of the line try to find his water heater, which he finally locates in the cellar of his home after checking everywhere else -
The attractive black girl corrects the dumb white Verizon guy, telling him that the figure of speech he just used was a metaphor, not a simile as he had described it -
The dumb white guy buys a new car, which puts a dent in his wallet; the dumb white woman buys a used car in poor condition, which has a number of dents in it; the attractive black woman buys her used car from CarSense - it's like new, has a great warranty, and "makes those other two look pretty dense" (dents - get it? at least they come right out and effectively call the whites dumb) -
I tell myself when I'm watching such fare that it's just advertisers trying to swing the purchases and preferences of blacks, many of whom are just now starting to enjoy the financial rewards of the Trump economy for the first time - it helps me ignore somewhat the feeling of irritation I get at thinking I'm being lied to, preached to, and belittled.....

My skin rushed with heat as I looked to my mom. Her eyes welling with hateful tears, ...

What?

[b4me]

“Her eyes welling with hateful tears”

so her mom was full of hate it came out in tears?
