In reply to the discussion: An Observation About White People and Wypipo [View all]KPN
(15,645 posts)I must admit that after reading it, I feel a bit guilty about thinking of myself as just "a person". Oddly and somewhat ironically, with this revelation I also feel somewhat between a rock and hard place. You've presented me with a real dilemma. How does this revelation reconcile with my belief that we'd all be far better off if we simply thought of each other as "people"? I realize I am asking this question as a white person -- which after several leaps of logic leads me to another realization: how can black people ever be color-blind if we white people keep making them feel black? It's like peeling back layers of an onion. Is there a core? Will we ever get there? And what will it look like when we do? This stuff's complicated.
Thanks for the enlightening post. Nice to learn something about myself ... um, I think.
