It took a lot of soul searching to realize just how bad some of the things I said were. Mostly out of complete ignorance. I haven't deleted these FB posts because I want them to be a reminder to myself that
    a) I can be wrong
    b) Good people can be ignorant
    c) We can fix it <--- Most important

    When we've purge our systemic racism we can revisit the discussion about who deserves more effort.




    No brent, that's not at all right. This can be proven out by just reading the actual text. Not injecting an opinion.

    You're just wrong on this and the facts just don't support what you're saying here at all. You're making **** up followed by some pretty awful comments about race.

      It's been ~150 years, not 400. And it's only been 50 years since the civil rights era. And let's not pretend that racism ended magically overnight in the 60s.

              I'm not reading back. I'll just assume Brent and dx had a lover's spat.

                Nope. This was a gang bang.

                    I'll just say that anyone who thinks I'm a racist, has another think coming.

                      I don't think you are a racist, and I think you understand the situation better than the average white American, who will say something like, "You know, I'm not a racist, but I wish the blacks would just settle down and stop committing crimes and/or acting like violent gangbangers" Which is just 21st century racism.

                        Racism is everywhere, certainly not just countries with slave history.

                        You can't changebitbwith laws, but by changing people.
                        And people are complicated.

                        All you can do is change yourself.

                        At least bubba liked to nail colored girls too. So bubba isbalright with me.

                        You posers who just marry white women cause they are attractive to you are closet racists.

                        Walk the walk. Don't just talk the talk.

                          Grouping people with stereotypes certainly falls under the definition.
                          Any group identifier in fact, positive or negative, shows an inclination to think racially.

                              It ended in 1865.

                              And I'm sorry but nobody is buying this, "I'm not racist but..." nonsense after you all but dismissed the existence of structural racism for 4 pages.

                                Laynette was less well-traveled — the farthest away she had ever lived was Lincoln, across the state
                                Well there's your problem!

                                She's never even left Nebraska. I can think of only one other person I've run into who was more provincial than that. A waitress in Circleville, Ohio who had never traveled more than 30 miles outside that town. And that was 15 years ago.
