Well, I understand where you’re coming from. The only hedge I would make would be to acknowledge that there are any number of very fine black people I have encountered in my 60+ years on this Earth, some of whom I have voluntarily placed my life into their hands (my urology surgeon who helped cure me of prostate cancer), and any number of other good people, some of who are right here on FR. Sadly, I think they are in the minority as far as the black race is concerned, which on balance has been decimated by the dependence culture that has been placed upon them by those (’Rats) who purport to be their advocates and saviors. The person interviewed in the article is a perfect example.
I understand that, but other than the few who have already been in my life and are tried and true, I just don’t have the time, patience, or energy anymore to “vet” new people, especially when more than once I, and people I know, have been burned by black people who purported to subscribe to “people are people”, but I learned otherwise in various ways. Now I just can’t and won’t be bothered, it’s already enough to have vet the new people one allows into their life on other factors, without adding hidden racial resentment to the mix. And it’s tiring and frustrating to walk on eggshells because when things like Ferguson come up, you learn that unless you buy into things like the “war on blacks” (criminals), you are a latent racist. I don’t defend white criminals, I’m certainly not going to make heroes of black ones.
