I’m tired of suppressing myself to get along with white people

Trapped in her identity. How sad and small.

[CodeToad]

Civility requires restraint. We don’t see restraint with liberals.

[uncitizen]

Put another way - it’s finally ok to admit she hates white people.

[lulu16]

I wonder why she didn’t find black roomies on Craigslist? She can still do that and not have to talk in code and suppression.

And if she really wants to sing Aretha’s R_E_S_P_E-C-T, she should put in a notice for gay guys.

Some big fat POS thug tried to take a cop's gun and kill him with it. But luckily the thug got what he deserved. Now a bunch of black people have decided it's an excuse are being used like meat puppets by George Soros to advance his profitable America-destabilizing agenda and to loot and burn businesses. Utterly disgusting."

Fixed it.

Billionaire George Soros spent $33MILLION bankrolling Ferguson demonstrators to create 'echo chamber' and drive national protests

Translation: I intentionally sprung a trap on the whiteys during a simple “get to know you” conversation, hoping to trigger white guilt and set the tone for our relationship going forward.

I like to think that said whitey knew all about it, he just wanted to severely ruffle her feathers. It sounds like something I would do.

[Albion Wilde]

hoping to spark a “conscious conversation.”

Academia-speak for "deliberately opening a sensitive topic with the intention of imposing my views on others by using my victimhood as the trump card."

Passive-aggression.

[Future Snake Eater]

Well said.

[Nepeta]

I've seen that phenomenon myself, with the several families I've gotten to know who were born in Africa. They had Christian education even in public school as well as in church, and they speak with a British accent, work hard, keep their houses up and their children in line.

I've seen this, too. Culture matters!

[Albion Wilde]

He, Priscilla. I heard some Jew people had a hard time in Poland. Ya' know anything about that?

I know, right? And some of my English ancestors oppressed my Irish ancestors, too. I'm going to have to write myself a reparations check.

By the way, Priscilla, when I mentioned the Highland Clearances, you weren't outraged like I am. Why not?

[houeto]

But that’s called maturity.

It's called self-restraint and mine is being taxed in spades!

[Dutch Boy]

Sounds like she has a classic case of “Failure to Integrate.”

[Noamie]

Channon Christian and Chris Newsom, Knoxville.

Anyone think this author heard about THAT?

I’m tired of suppressing myself for racists and bigots.

[Albion Wilde]

I wonder why she didn’t find black roomies on Craigslist? She can still do that and not have to talk in code and suppression.

Her roommates are not just white, but males. Subconsciously, she was looking for a white husband who would pay the bills and take her crap.

Fail.

[spawn44]

She asks her roommates about Ferguson, and they don’t know. Then she tries to tell them and she doesn’t know either.

[Resolute Conservative]

I wonder would she feel the same actually living in the hood and getting her butt robbed, raped, car-jacked by her fellow racemen.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Very, very, funny!

[daltec]

Awesome! You really cracked the code on that one. Money quote:

[lulu16]

If she was, she was working against the odds. I have rarely seen white guys with black women and I have never seen a Chinese guy with a black woman.

Maybe she should hook up with someone in the down-low bullpen of Rev. Wright; worked for a ball buster like Michelle Obama nee Robinson.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Great Point!
