Talk about politics
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been surprised to learn that one of my white friends or associates was a Republican. Ugh. It’s a troubling realization. Not only because of the political ideologies; (I don’t understand why folk can’t see the Republicans are just about money.), but also because the Republican party has been known to associate and or attract the type of folk who cling to racist, sexist and classist thoughts and even behaviors. There’s the tea party folk, the Todd Akin type dudes and most recently people who can’t act like they have a modicum of sense or even humanity, at a convention where the party is supposed to be putting their best foot forward. Why didn’t they get the memo that it’s not ok to throw peanuts at a black woman?!

Talk about Race
I like to talk about race with non-ignorant people. If those people happen to be white, great. But more times than I’d like to remember, some white folks have been completely oblivious to what it means to be a minority in this country. How many times have you heard a white person ask, in all seriousness, “Where is White history month?” or state “I don’t see color.” or “Black people are always pulling the race card.” Statements like that will cause you to look at a person you once liked in a whole new, unfavorable light. To avoid the grave disappointment, you might be so inclined to keep race out of it.
What things do you avoid doing around white people?
That's precisely what I believe this "proud to be X" thought means and I reject it. Being white does not give me any claim to the achievements of other people who happen to be white.
Just because one sub-group of humans has a wrong thought process ("Proud to be black") doesn't mean another sub-groups should emulate them.

you forgot aarp zombie senile senior who votes for dem0crats because they fear “goverment involvement in social security or medicare” (seriously that stupid is reality) and only remember FDR not communists or deviants who would gladly kill them off as part of reparations.
“to earn” and “to steal” are the same word to the left.
there is no hybrid only law. In fact most all states have equal access of the road laws.
It is one of the reasons the pregancy parking is unenforcable since it discriminates.
Some local municipalities have implemented them - don't know if they can enforce it. I don't have them where I live as far as city-owned parking goes. Some private parking lots have it here - I ignore them, as my engine is an air/gasoline "hybrid". It really is just a stupid "feel-good" thing.
