ooookay. We've gone from polite to 'you could never understand because you're white' in three seconds flat. Wow.
By 'priviledged', do you mean because I'm white (yes), middle classed (lower-classed here, I average 21,000 a year in pay at best), will automatically win arguments based on race (nope), or some other definition of the word I don't know about?
Anyway...yeah. I see your point, and it's exactly the one I see whether I say anything or watch people just toss all of this about.
Wait, I didn't blame minorities for that book. I didn't actually *blame* a specific person for that book...but that's where we're going, isn't it?
Actually, I don't feel threatened. What I feel is sad, because what is getting thrown at me at this point is the same shit that my ancestors (them, not me), threw at others.
Which again, adds fuel to the fire rather than solve or fix or correct anything.
