The final disclosure, reluctantly, but wisely, included, will completely disarm Curtis.
I can just see her indignation rising as she reads the letter, imagining you to be a typical (to her way of thinking), self-interested, privileged white male, and then WHAM!, you shatter the stereotype by divulging your membership in one of her privileged groups, an "oppressed" (in marxist terms) minority.
Perhaps she'll find her way clear to dismissing you. After all, the left has had to deal for some time now with the likes of Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Clarence Thomas and other black heroes of conservative thought, and they've used the most base epithets to attack them.
Nevertheless, your existence complicates things for the Kim Curtises of the world. It shatters their neat little dialectic. And that's a good thing.
Thank you beckett. It is profoundly disturbing to confess to the extent that cultural Marxist theory and liberalism generally have corrupted rational thought in the black community. The resultant state is often a rejection of objective truth and linear thought. The greatest disaster to ever befall the black community outside of Jim Crow and forced segregation was the destruction of the two parent black family mostly wrought by the welfare state of liberalism's Great Society. It impacts or directly causes nearly every negative aspect of life in the black community today. But if you attempt to point this out to those who believe in the chimera of government programs as a cure for what ails us, than you are either scorned or dismissed as "unrealistic" or "Uncle Tomish".
We need to utterly reject these Fabian socialists and cultural Marxists and get back to the sort of solid solutions posited by Booker T washington and his modern day spiritual descendants like the great Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Shelby Steel, John McWhorter and the innumerable kindred soul white thinkers that agree with them.
