Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

And a hat tip to Derrick Bell

Karnythia, also from The Angry Black Woman.

I once sat in a class on the psychology of sexual harassment (the only black woman in the class) and had the lovely experience of a white woman trying to challenge black women on their support of black men despite the misogyny in rap music and the Clarence Thomas case. She literally could not see (despite my efforts to beat reason into the conversation) a problem with her attitude. When I pointed out that white men weren’t immune to misogyny and no one was asking white women to abandon them? Yeah, there was a whole riff about how enlightened the men in her life were and so clearly there was hope for white men. Another white woman who had been sitting there listening politely pointed out her racism and suddenly she could see it. Because clearly the 20+ times I’d pointed it out just did not matter at all.

Yeah.

Have you noticed that I will explain my positions without trying to convince anyone to adopt them?

I'm going to tell you the truth...if it were up to me, I'd just institute the Racial Preferences Licensing Act
