responding to what newman just said: this reminds me of some ongoing discussions i had with a now former co-worker. although his skin was as white as an albino, one of his parents was black, the other white. very strange. in any case, both of his parents were educators, having taught for many decades, and he himself (Jason) came across as a very intelligent, well-spoken, educated man.
well, he was definitely educated, but in the wrong way, toward thinking like a liberal. I really did not want to discuss politics at work, and eventually got fired for being a pro-israel republican, but he kept persisting. i spent hour after hour explaining to him about my opposition to the islamofascists. yet after all of my efforts, he still insisted that i am a racist. at that point, i gave up on talking about things like that to him; he, in turn, was offended by my sudden silence on such matters, and used it against me to help get me fired. so i could not win no matter what i said or did not say. so much for tolerance of thought from the liberals.
my second response is to erica, although, thus far, she hasn't seem to have read anything i have written, but maybe what i am about to say will be read by the other people in here. erica basically resents the phenomena of DWB, Driving While Black. this specifically refers to the police stopping blacks more than they stop whites, but used in a more general sense, it refers to all of us non-blacks making negative generalizations about blacks in our every day life.
i guess it never occurred to blacks like erica that there may be a reason for this, and that is how too many blacks act in society. blacks commit far and away the most violence in society, and they are always at the forefront of asking for handouts from the very same white people that they take pride in hating. virtually every event of racism that i have personally witnessed, has involved blacks being racist against others.
so really, it is not we whites that erica should be mad at, but rather her own black people. if blacks would act more civilized, we whites would have no reason to feel any animosity toward them. so rather than focus on how we ract to black violence and hatred, erica should focus on getting her fellow blacks to start behaving like more civilized human beings.
