Xibit, I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your Opening post and all the information in it.
A famous man who was assassinated for his fame once said: “it is hard to pull yourself up by your bootstraps when someone else is standing on your neck.”
What people fail to realize is that the man standing on the other mans neck taught his son and the neighbor kids to take his place.
As we move through time and away from the initial events of slavery and oppression in and of the country, people tend to want to distance themselves from their responsibility of their fathers teachings to them. So they excuse themselves from that responsibility by re-offending their father’s crimes against humanity and simply denying what they are doing.
They don’t care who they have to sacrifice to maintain their righteous illusions.
I am a white man, kind of pink actually, and come from a long line of racist southerners.
My father was teaching me to take his place too.
I woke up early and spoiled his surprise. Some people will not wake up. But more and more do everyday. Keep the faith.
You seem to be doing fine against the ignorance in ideologies that have challenged your post of insight.
Insight is interesting word. It annotates the need of a person to look into something before being capable of having a responsible understanding of it. Anything short of someone looking into things before replying to your insights is just blind reaction, as they were taught to do.
I am not too educated in race studies or in anything else for that matter, save my life experiences. But I am interested in what you are offering. The truth is refreshing. I’ll be watching and drinking it up.
Hope I can contribute along the way.
I’ll try to formulate some questions when I have more time.
