White People Think One Black Person's Success Proves Racism Is Over

82. Not it's not

You kept pushing her to responds to your original post on this thread.

looks like bait, and is irresponsible and you can not respond to that issue
I just did that? I don't know what you want from me?

Is it absolute utter agreement? Or are we having a discussion?



It's not this - but now resort to such extremes as suggesting you don't post anymore

It's not extreme - I'm sorry but it's not.


Question - Do you want us to win the midterms? Do you want solidarity?


I'm suggesting that perhaps these aren't the types of discussions that lead to solidarity.

There has been a lot of emotion around these types of topics at DU. Perhaps you haven't seen that?

But then you suggest - that the OP lowered the bar?


I hate to say this - but it's reality.

This is what black America is bombarded with everyday. It's near and dear to us - and we discuss it. . . I discuss it with my husband and he's a middle aged white immigrant. It doesn't work him up or offend him - because he kind of looks at the world through my eyes and I look at it through his.

IF the subject line lowers the bar - and it's what is 'out there' - outside of DU - and we know the 'others' are reading it - I don't understand how it lowers the bar to quote an article that Bennett of all people is quoted in.

He's one of the worst of the worst offenders in America.

Can we agree on that? How he race baits? How he plays to the loud and vocal right's lowest and most base 'fears' and desires? How that has been his agenda?

Or should we just not discuss it at all?

Because truthfully I'm MORE THAN willing to take one for Team Left if it means every single person here gets out and votes and canvasses and makes calls and takes people to the polls this November.

I am absolutely suggesting we squash the discussion to make that happen. We'll pick up the ball again after the election.
