My thoughts exactly. It was a disturbing phrase for me. Yes, I’m white.

It should be disturbing, because the La Raza types fervently believe it.

From the 60s....

If you're white allright

If you're brown stick around

If you're black stay back...

“What about offending the white community?”

Try this - “White is the new Yellow”

How about, “I have NO values”. That would probably make them even more money.
