I find it interesting ...

48. Lack of self awareness in others upsets me.

Where are you? What are you doing? Should you do it here? These are questions we as humans need to ask ourselves at times to ensure we are not doing more harm than good.

If the AA group is discussing Eric Holder in th protected group, should I go in there as a non AA and spend my time trashing him, if that's what they are complaining about?(him being trashed) Do I bust up in there and question the authenticity of their care about other less fortunate AA's? What type of person does that make me if I do?

My personality profile says I would not. I am INFP. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp. Try the test.

If there is to be equality in our nation, we need self awareness, situational awareness, and a bunch of empathy. Oh. And the end of White Privilege. That especially.

Try comparing Eric Holder to the man who came before him. Now, comparing the two, and knowing how black voting rights have been stolen in the last few cycles, which one do you think that black democrats in the AA group would be more supportive of? That's right, Holder.
Now, using your empathy.... How should we feel when the privileged race decides to come to our protected group to trash the man fighting for the voting rights of the democratic base? Right, you get it. Irritated.

Those who are income inequalitists would like us to focus on that, and jailing the bankers, and legalizing weed. They forget that none of that matters when you cannot vote, are imprisoned by the new slavery, or are a victim of racial discrimination. Time and time again we have voted for what they want, we are the base. But they think nothing of leaving us behind once they have their votes. Hell, they'll come right up to us and tell us how much they hate the politicians we support and nastily attempt to bully us into agreement. Lack of self awareness is dangerous.

Think about it.
