Maybe I'm still a bit sensitive
That comment below that I lifted from a very erudite blog named Discriminations has been lurking in my subconscious because it may be the most blindingly racist statement I've ever read.
If you are white, demand real social interaction from blacks and demand something in return. This will produce positive change.
Understand what this says. It says we own him for the honor of his presence. That the way to end racism is for Black people to give white folks what little we have. This would indeed be a positive change for him.
And look at what he sees as the benefits of associating with Black people:
The ability to combine the spiritual and the sensual so characteristic of the black church is something that whites desparately need. The machismo and athleticism of black men is something that whites men should emulate. (And black men can learn to soften the machismo a bit.)
I haven't had to extenuate, modify or extract anything to show how brutally racist the statement is. And everyone in the thread cheered. Or banged rocks, or some shit.
It's time for the Racial Discrimination Licensing Act.
