Although I do thoroughly enjoy your curious racial analogies between only black and white. As if that were the only racial issue in this country. Either you are a racist or just not all that familiar with our history. | once again - "aberrant" - just as "normal" - are words that describe something that is different - not WRONG
when we start using words that mean anything outside the mainstream defined as WRONG we're in real trouble ... as a black man, you might understand that. In America, it's aberrant and not normal to be black.
For some reason, bigots in this country are more prevalent among blacks and whites - though I understand that blacks have quite a hate-on for hispanics and asians, as well. So, it's only natural to use the "normal" racial bigotry when making an analogy - blacks and whites. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.
