Its like discussing the Constitutionality of Civil Rights Laws with a black person.To me as a white person,I can make some theoretical argument about how the Federal Government may have exceeded its jurisdiction in 1964.To a black person its like,"F Constitutionality.Do you want me and my family to have to go to the back of the bus again?" Things get ugly and objective discussion is silenced.

BTW .. if you approach a discussion like that .. I'm not surprised that you get into an ugly discussion

The difference is two white guys COULD discuss the Constitutional merits of the law more or less objectively.That is,WE have never had to experience going to a restaurant and being told "we only serve white folks from the back door"
For a black person,its very personal as well as very painful.
