I am no longer "white".
I now declare myself to be "Euro-American"
No sarcasm intended.
Needs to be repeated at every opportunity, but it's "racist" to point out that little nugget of truth.
First one isn’t true. It’s been debunked endlessly on this website.
And on CNN, Colin Powell chimed in with his advice to black children: “When you’re faced with an officer who is trying to do his job and get to the bottom of something, this is not the time to get in an argument with him. I was taught that as a child.”

Plenty of white folk were taught that as a child, too.
THanks for the update on Hentoff’s leanings. Has PBS fired him yet (since I don’t listen anymore).
It’s true, racism hasn’t gone away. It’s just that it now predominantly resides in the black community instead of the white community.
Rudy also tried non-stop to take guns away from lawful owners and lobbied for more federal gun control laws.
But to some, the end always justifies the means.
I admire your impulse, but what is "SES"? Bureaucratic abbreviation?
Still think Rudy's a conservative?
You were pretty serious about upbraiding the Rudy Unbelievers upthread, and reprehending our ignorance of the man's real positions on things.
I live in Houston, too. Second-hand "as told to" anecdotal info is that both Metro, the bus service, and the Solid Waste Division are black fiefdoms.
The word is, they're color-blind on hiring, but if you're white and you hire on, the black hands will "unofficially" make sure you don't stick around.
In other words, they're racist as hell and nobody ever, ever, ever, in 30 years, has called them on it. Never.
I don't know, I don't follow his career. Do you mean NPR? I seldom "listen" to PBS, but I do watch it.
I avoid NPR, it's a waste of earlobes. Socialist scum, pretending to be fair but managing to get only to mellow.
RIGHT...I am so familiar with them I don’t know the difference between PBS and NPR. Remembered the name Nat Hentoff from years ago.
The word "poor" has fallen out of fashion. People who work in education have been brainwashed with this term for many years now, and I use it too.
I must fight the power and overcome my programming!
LOL -- "Smash the Matrix!!"
BTTT.
