It's pretty clear to me what the message is. Feel free to tell me what I think, however. People seem to think that they know the whites through and through, but whites are too freaking stupid to be able to interpret what they read and don't have the same ability.
Isn't it funny how "racism" manifests itself?
At the end of the day, people really feel they have whites figured out. For example, I do want the federal Dept. of Education abolished. Never though would I have equated it to race. For me it goes back to that out of context Jefferson comment regarding the separation of church and state. Jefferson was promising the Danbury Baptists that government would not interfere with a child's education and the church was tasked with educating children.
Well, the government got in the education racket, then had technical court rulings (like Wickard v Filburn) wherein they determined the government could regulate anything it subsidizes. Sooo... government then told us you couldn't mention God or pray or teach Christian values in a public school - all of which is reversible by getting the government out of the education business. But I digress. I did not know it had a racial connotation - Many thanks for telling me how I feel. I would not have known otherwise.
First ... what this is telling you is that Black People have opinions and First Hand Experiences, can we at least acknowledge that fact?
Second ... "I" ... "Personally" have never been "White" one second of my life, therefore I can't tell you how White People feel. Can I assume you haven't been Black either?
Third ... it isn't what people "say", it's what they "do" that defines them.
Sounds like someone arbitrarily and selectively defining what racism is so only whites can fit the definition.
