For a long time, I’ve commented on the “dis” component in black culture. The in-your-face, dare-you-to-stop-me attitude so familiar from the likes of Sharpton, Farrakhan, etc. During the Clinton presidency, I noticed the entire Democratic party embracing it. No respect for protocol nor for the institutions we rely on to keep society “civil”.
But black culture specialized in it. Young black men who use the F-bomb deliberately (and loudly) around little old white ladies (like me!). Little things, too. Here in the south it’s not unusual at all to have black people silently disrespect “your space”. E.g., your pushing your cart down the aisle at WalMart. All shoppers know—without thinking about it—that when approached by another shopper you discretely move to the side to let them pass. Not here...not many black people. As I move through the aisles, I can’t tell you how many times they block my way and ignore me. I say “excuse me”, they ignore me. And so on. [Maybe it’s their “left brain” thing.]
I THINK REV. WRIGHT IS SIGNALING THE TAKING OF “DISSING” TO A NEW LEVEL. He’s not just taking on our music. Our education. Our speech. Our religion. HE IS TAKING ON WESTERN CIVILIZATION ITSELF (sound familiar?).
Like the jihadists, Wright and his cohorts will next say “Why should we respect your laws...based on the Magna Carta and YOUR understanding of right and wrong?”. Make no mistake, this is an attack on the very foundations of our civilization.
Not a happy thought is it? But, I believe you just about nailed it there.
Did you read the deal about Obama brushing off his shoulder last week in a diss to Hillary Clinton and an homage to the rap/hip-hop culture?
And you are soooo right about this:

I know exactly what you are saying. I have had to stop my car in the middle of the street to keep from running over someone because they ‘dared’ me to hit them by just standing there glaring at me.
They had better thank the Good Lord that I wasn’t in my hormonal state at the time or they would be D E A D.
I think they are taught that white people are the enemy as Wright just suggested in his hate speech today. And any white person who tries to correct their ‘language’ or behavior are racist.
