And when bigots and racists in the media on the right act like effin' assholes - they get away with it. . . Even from DU apologists who just think it's 'swell'.

End of the day - I've seen the 'white privilege' posts in GD. At the end of the day . . . white men get a free pass because they are white men but anything to knock down an intelligent, articulate black woman is AOK.

That's the world many black women in inhabit - and you don't have to 'acknowledge' our experience - but you don't get to tell us what our experience is.
