122. No.

"You are seeing the black community as inferior by putting the entirity of blame on racism instead of seeing the black community with the tremendous strenghts and power it does have instead of as powerless."

I am seeing the black community as equal to every other community, and the reason for any troubles comes from outside.

"So you are saying the black leaders I mentioned should be dismissed? The greatest black leaders in history? Wow."

I'm saying white people who spew racist crap just because Cosby talks about it should be dismissed. Yes. So should lame strawmen.

"Every person who has been in the minority sub class, the victim of racism or sexism or any other oppressive ism has a choice. One, to blame every failure in their life on that ism and remain powerless or to maintain their integrity and their true personal power in the face of it."

What sort of self help mumbo jumbo is this?

"Any person who has faced adversity has had the same choice, to despair or transcend their scenario be they a battered woman, an addict, a victim of persecution etc."

You don't blame the battered wife as causing her own abuse. Well, maybe you do. I don't.

"Your approach supports that despair, their powerlessness and people like you contribute to their suffering. Sad thing is you are totally unaware of it."

Nah, I think racists are the problem.
