In the past couple of weeks I have been told outright that my opinion doesn't count on things regarding our cultural divide because I am white, can't understand how things "Really Are", or I am genetically inhibited from understanding because of my DNA (being white).
Do you have any idea how insulting that is. It is racist to the max. You are telling ME that I cannot comprehend, I cannot grasp, I cannot look into a situation and make certain conclusions simply because I am white? I'm not a tree either yet I am considered in the trade as a big time expert on such..
What if I applied the same measure to black people? I would explain how to make a lot of money but since you've always been poor you can't possibly understand. I might have tried to help you with your relationship problems but since your DNA can't seem to stay sexually pure (see Baby Mama's Epidemic for more) you can't possibly understand.
Do you see how outrageous it is to insist that no white man can possibly have a valid opinion because of the color of his skin. If the is ever going to be a bridging of the great divide, you will have to hear and consider my opinions without getting all condescending. When you play the race card you are saying, I don't have any valid arguments, so I'll just say "You can't possibly understand". Nothing is going to change. Worse is when I hear the statement from some, "We need to have a conversation about race". What they are really saying is, "I will talk, you listen, and when I am done talking if you don't yet agree with me I will keep talking until you do". That's not conversation, that's indoctrination.
When I point out ideas and opinions I have line up exactly with Conservative Black men and women, some of whom grew up after world war one in the forties and fifties on the streets of Chicago in poverty but who now are conservatives like Jason Riley or Shelby Steele. The answer I get for that is, "well, there are black conservatives and black liberals. Everyone is untitled to their opinion" UNLESS THEY ARE WHITE!!
So next time some race baiting liberal black man or woman tells me I am not entitled to an opining because I am white, I will understand they are racist bigots of the worst kind. They believe all white people are alike.. and that's the fatal flaw.. of those who are in fact espousers of the same narrow thinking of the KKK.
SHAME!!
