Actually, no, it isn't comprehension I questioned. I think it's selective reading is what I think, or selective responding. It's a common tactic, particularly in a forum like this, and it has nothing to do with the color of one's skin.

I didn't find it profound. I found it ironic. Because in your mind your opinions of all white people are funded by history and therefore you can rightfully point that racism finger at all of us, even though you have no idea who we are or what shaped our opinions. And yet you're somehow offended with the volley is returned.

"We" don't know "you", but "you" know "us"? And this is accurate because you are black and your terrible experiences growing up in Mississippi preclude any other actual thing, even though other black people with similar or worse experiences don't feel as you? They're all just misguided uncle tom's who need to be "dealt with"?

Is that about right then?
If you actually knew my views on racism you’d know I view it primarily on a systematic level and individual instances of prejudice or bigotry don’t really move my radar. Small fish.

And yet you hold the collective responsible for individual instances, many of which are older than you are. You are, after all, anti-white? You are for the destruction of our system of Government because why? White people? You are more than willing to cast the entire state of Mississippi aside because of your individual instances/experiences?

And yet so many black people grow up in Mississippi without feeling as you do, and, because of this, according to you, they must be "dealt with"?

It just doesn't reconcile. I guess I could say, "that dog won't hunt", but that's probably a 'white' expression and, growing up in Mississippi you weren't allowed to hear it?

C'mon Man...

I prioritize Black people in the same fashion you claim to prioritize Americans. Whichever button produces the best result for The Diaspora is the button I’ll push. With White people being the hard working people they are, if it would be to their dismay socioeconomically I’m sure it’ll be no problem for them to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and pave a new way of life in the name of Jesus Christ. Manifest Destiny 2.0.

Right. So I prioritize Americans. All colors. All races. Full stop.


You prioritize black people before all others.


And you call me the racist? You clearly have a preference for life that is determined by nothing more than the color of a man's skin?

Well Sir, just wow. I mean, as I've said, I know where you're coming from. I know Delaney and Du Bois. I know Charmichael. I know Che. I know Newton, and Seale, and King, and Malcolm. I have some level of respect for some of these men, but I know them in a context I genuinely believe you do not, and further I don't think you're interested, and that's too bad.

I wish there was a way to open your eyes to the racism inherent inside you. Looks like it's too late.

C'mon Man...

You claim to, but you don’t. You can say what you want, but to me, you don’t.

And I genuinely could care less if you realize it or not.

And tell me how it is that you know that I don't? Because I'm white?

It’s a combination of things. Ben Carson could be on the forums saying the same things. I’d say the same. All these questions trying to lead me to the answer you want me to give you are getting old now though.

You have some serious issues on what is perceived as reality and what is your opinion.
