I remember trying to talk to a friend about race issues. All I got in return was, “It’s a black thing, you wouldn’t understand.”

Remember that dismissive statement that made the rounds?

Yup. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning. Kind of like the “both sides” comment. They will NEVER see it that way and merely claim self defense. Saw a sign that basically said white silence is racis’. In other words, you better agree with us and speak up or else................ Used to call that bullying as I recall.

I remember that period. A number of people were walking around in t-shirts with that phrase under a picture of Malcolm X.

I recall somebody marketing a response t-shirt, with a picture of Albert Einstein against a background of equations, with the words "It's a white thing, you wouldn't understand". Today, wearing such a shirt on campus would produce riots and immediate expulsion.

I met a black woman who seemed very nice but made some comments like “You ain’t discriminatory, are you?”

Found out later that she asked the property manager if they sold houses to black people.

What in the world...

Tell him that's a Free Spin for anybody already harboring racist thoughts.

Well, it is difficult to understand a idiot with a 65 IQ.
