Re: Warning (for Gisele) Contains anti-liberal material

Pray tell exactly what does it get a black person to remain angry over
injustices done 100 years ago. Don't bother saying they don't because they
do (Wright).

Prejudice is everywhere for all colors and conditions. People who aren't as
good looking, people who are overweight, people who are poor, people who
smell different, people who are shorter, people with buck teeth; you name
it, there is prejudice against them. Black people were down-trodden for 100
years, but I doubt that Colin Powell carries around hatred and animosity
because of it . . . he's too busy building a life and living it.

What you seem to be saying is that no prejudice is worse than the prejudice
over skin color. Obviously, you don't know how it feels to be one of the
others who are discriminated against. But then, if you aren't black you
don't know how they feel either.

If someone is stopped because it looks as though something is wrong
with their car, I don't think that is the same as being stopped simply
because of your skin color. Just not the same thing. I'm not saying
I expect to live in a perfect world. I'm just amazed when a black
person points out these imperfections and are told simply to get over
it. Even if that message comes from another person of color, I don't
think it goes over too well.
