210. Teach me something, Oh please
Get the fuck out of here with that garbage. I know what racism is. I have lived through it. Me family has lived through that. I am Black and I know what people are saying. You are so arrogant that you think you are teach me something about racism.

You're going to teach me about racism? How pathetic.

Let ME school you. Many blacks also believe that there will be rioting if this is stolen from Obama. You know how I know it? Because I've talked to them, they are in my family. A black commentator even said the same thing on Hardball last week.

Again(pay attention), Gore Vidal didn't say this because he assumed that all black people are inherently violent. Do you know what inherently means? He's saying it because many blacks are frustrated and that frustration has the potential to come to a head.


Again, since you can't seem to grasp this, I don't believe he was saying that we are naturally violent and that's the only way we know how to respond. What I feel that he's saying is that black folks are tired of seeing white folks move the bar and taking things from them.

If you want to have a talk about race relations and racism we can do that but please spare me this patroninzing lecture regarding something that I live with everyday.
