I am not sure that I understand what you are saying. “That said, we need to get over the sensitivity in regard to such comments while at the same time tolerating the behavior of some Americans of African descent.” ????
Are you under the impression that I forgive racism from blacks? If so you are seriously mistaken. I have utter contempt for all racists.
I saw the security guard comment as racist. I don’t have to accept that because there are stupid black people who are racists. I thank you for your kind comments, but I think you misunderstand me.
Please don’t think that I will ever simply overlook white racists because there are black racists. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
What I was trying to say (clumsily, I suppose) is that we all need to get over this racism thing. We will both hear things from others that “grate” like nails on chalkboards but if we are ever going to get past it we have to quit listening. When folks who have low IQ make stupid remarks we don’t get all hot and bothered we “consider the source”. That said, we also need to deal with the reality that there does exist a problem. We dealt with white racists and sidelined them. We have yet to sideline black racists IMHO.
