(5,125 posts)Guess you really are a jerk.
What have YOU ever done to increase the peace and understanding between blacks and whites or any different ethnicity?
If you have stories about that, I wouldn't automatically assume you were show boating. Again, I would go back to giving you the benefit of the doubt and hear what you had to say as being your experience that there IS HOPE. People CAN make positive choices.
It isn't ALL bleak and horrible out there. Some people care.
I don't think I have done "a lot" for blacks. I simply think I was raised to think differently and was allowed to live as a respectful person in a world that is often full of hatred and stupidity.
When someone is TRYING to understand, I don't see how it is a waste of time. Don't go into diplomacy if you think that way. That would be a waste of your time and anyone else who had to deal with that attitude.
But keep being a challenging grump here. You still have some valid points despite your delivery and we can take the heat.
In fact, your idea to join the NAACP was a great one. THANKS!!
