(5,012 posts)I wouldnt feel demeaned or offended. Now, I dont know anyone who would behave like that but if they did, Id probably find it amusing. Theres nothing to take. It doesnt mean anything. As I said, to me its no different than calling me a carrot.
In the big picture, we live in a white supremacist society. Even if my foreman was Black, I still have more privilege in this country. If we had an equal or even massively unequal, in their favor, economic status, no one is going to question me riding around a gated community. Hes going to have the cops called on him.
Thats what I mean by a position of power.
Then again, I dont really give a shit what anyone says, I dont get offended very easily. Call me anything, just dont call me late for dinner.
