There is a subtle importance to studying the plight of the minority, which thanks to my liberal education I have had the opportunity to do.

blah blah white privilege blah blah.
you have no idea how tired I am of hearing this.

However, you're take on it was a breath of fresh air. I like the way you have organized this idea and taken a different look at it.

sadly, there's a desperate part of me that is at my wits end with the racial rhetoric and argument that I'm starting to think the parental approach of separation might be a good idea.

Hell, even Thomas Jefferson, while supporting black freedom and independence, didn't believe that black and white could live peacefully under the same government.

What am I supposed to say to this Derek? I read your blog, and you have already said the same thing, and I'm tempted to confront you and throw a bunch of stuff in your face, but yeah, it won't work. Really, I just want you to know that if I don't denounce what you just said in some way, I am identifying myself as a racist too. Separate but equall? You're not even saying that. I really do believe that "blacks" and "whites" which are really European-Americans and African-Americans, and hell, Chinese Americans etc. can live together, and that all these racist notions are bullshit, and that the end of racism is the only final solution ( ... )

actually, the latest commentary of "race" that you see in my LJ are nothing more than over statements because of a certain preachy individual...who refused to see that he was preaching to the choir and who I chose just to piss off for the fun of it ( ... )

It may be very possible that we see things closer, but you have taken a really wierd turn lately. It seems like you are more spite than ideas. How far will you go to win an argument? I don't mean to come off like a zen master, or some kind of authority, trust me I know you can survive on your own, and I know you can write the hell out of things, but this meta-hate you were using to give him something bitch about then slipped out and slapped me in the face. That is why I confronted you ( ... )
