Tb;dr.

I must admit, I am shocked she doesn't have a hyphenated last name.

I scanned it and it is terrible.

I'm a southern,white male, mid-40s.

I had a black teacher as early as the 2nd grade (my favorite, ever, BTW), black teachers in the 3rd, and from the 5th grade on. I had black school administrators from the 8th grade on, and of course at the University level. I had black drill sergeants, black first sergeants and, since I've been commissioned had black superior officers, at least somewhere near in my chain of command, for 20 out of 24 years, including, in one case, a black female general officer.

So I reject all of this posturing nonsense. Blacks who have chosen to assimilate into American society and culture, are already successful and off the reservation. Those who continue to act like Jim Crow was yesterday, reconstruction last week and slavery last month deserve whatever ridicule, scorn and bemusement they draw from rational people, black, white, yellow, brown, plaid, what have you...

She sounds miserable. My goodness.

What do you mean "probably?" You don't know how long it takes to read it because you didn't? Or couldn't?

She's incredibly racist and out of touch with reality. Not too bright either.

I'm not sure what's worse. People like this or the moron white people telling me I should feel guilty for being white.

That was in October. It is now a week since Darren Wilson was not indicted by a grand jury for shooting and killing Michael Brown. A week since he testified that he felt as if Brown was an “it,” “a demon” that would not die. A colleague tells me she and her husband are taking their 1-year-old son apple-picking.

Just another highly educated person who lets race dictate how she views everything around her.

Here's just a taste:

quote:

This was a father expressing a deep need for his son to grow into a White man who might just rise above his race


Can you imagine the shitstorm if a honky - even a liberal, suggested a black person rise above his race?

More choice morsels:

quote:

My fear is that when White people feel good about themselves you think that the problem is solved. It is not.

Remember, it's only once you start feeling uncomfortable that we're getting anywhere. Remember, Darren Wilson had a defense fund. Remember that what you will not see are the many White folks who will shake his hand.



I literally shite smarter than this woman writes. And I assume her writing matches her critical thinking ability...

i guess maybe we're all biased and do not apply to this piece b/c we're all from the south and grew up actually living around black people

i guess i could see the kids in those schools rarely interacting with one

but black people really think we congregate to coordinate to keep them down or something. they're completely ignorant to our intraracial judgments. this website, esp teh OT, is calleld racist all the time. well that takes some perception bias, b/c the OT shits on white people pretty often

I'd bet a million bucks that the author is trying to cover for her being really into white guys, and feeling guilty about it.
