I advocate that I am not your child

What you seem to be advocating is resegregation. Is that what you want?

We are still a segregated society. In American schools, social lives, most neightborhoods and workplaces. Those of us that do not lead segrated lives, it is by sisyphian detarmination to integrate our lives with folks of dirrefent ethnic, religious and social stances.

This accusation proves just how naive you are: I'm stupid, by your estimation, yet you haven't bothered to look around you to realize that you live ina segregated society to this day. Sitting next to a black person on a bus or in a movie theatre does not make for a desegregated society. Next time you and your liberal white friends get together, put the real "how colored is your world?" on the table. And it I were NOT to want this desegregated utopia that you speak of that does not exist - my choice, like your white neighbors and family members choose every single day (via their feet or the voting booth) and have since the birth of America.

Your comments about white women are just as racist as someone saying that black men are all criminals. Make no mistake.

I am not a Kepp of White America. And I don't see any white woman giving up her comnfort zone to do a goddamned for anybody but her own (and her communal) benefit.

I am alarmed about Phyllis Schafly, but that's not who we're talking about here, is it? Also, I don't have a PTA.

She's ahite woman ain't she? And why don't you have a PTA? Everything begins with education, including the argument of reproductive rights. Educated people have more reporductive and economic options. So if you're so concerned about nmy world view, and where the other darkies are comin' down on the issues you value, get involved in the 1st inning. Then the 7th inning strecth will take care of itself.

But you're not disagreeing with my "world view," you're just generalizing and criticising who you think I AM. I am not telling you who or what you should be -- i am disagreeing with the things you believe. You set up strawmen and heap on generalizations.

Not attacking you. I just don't give a damn about your opinion and how t pertains to me, my community, and how I think and believe. I'mm sure you have a few family members and friends that are politically incorrect in your estimation. Preach to them. I'm entitled to all the fucked-upedness that I've had to deal with off white America.

Hurts like Hell not being considered, used for liberal political chum, or just not even listened to, don't it lecastor?
