Were you really offended by the phrase, or by the knowledge of what would happen if this were reversed?

I’m not offended by it, but it REALLY pisses me off to know that he can think he can say it, but that someone white would have been pilloried.

I'm not offended by the fact that a white person could not get away with saying “typical black person.” I just shake my head and remember that we are dealing with the typical liberal media. I am however,offended by this little college educated punk saying this about me(a white person) what the hell does he know about me??!!!

The phrase hit me like a slap in the face. To me, it said, no matter what you do, or how you feel, as a white person, you are a racist.

The problem with race relations in American, as viewed by the Wright crowd, is that white people can never be OK. There's only one place for us, the role as white oppressors, to be scorned, and demanded from.

That's dehumanizing, and it hurts.
