"The day after that conversation, my 12-year-old daughter took her toddler brother to a playground, only to return very soon and very shaken. This park is Harlem in miniature. There are two playgrounds, less than 300 yards apart, an old basic one and a new shiny one. In the new playground, well-dressed toddlers of different races, most of them minded by dark-skinned nannies, played together. At the old one, a few black kids played while their older siblings kept reluctant watch. A couple of drunken men loitered nearby. Apparently, one of them had lashed out at my daughter, calling her a “white bitch.” He then collected his kids from the playground, making it clear this was done on her account. “Isn’t this racism?” she asked me, shocked. Somehow, my model, which denied the possibility of racism directed against the majority, could not account for the power dynamics involved in being a child being berated by an adult."

Oh....only in that we can’t say it.....
My wife taught at a community college for about 12 years. Most all the racial tension and attitude came from black women. Some regarded any attempt to correct their class performance as racism, often throwing a tantrum.
One woman,causing a loud ruckus in the halls was approached and told to quiet down or she would be expelled. She replied, “Who are you to talk to me that way, Bitch! —”I’m the Dean of Education here” was the reply and the woman was expelled from college.
Get used to it! The biggest racists are 0bama’s and holder’s people.
If you’re white, you’re going to be abused by it,
and the authorities/government not only won’t do anything about it,
they’ll protect the abusers from you defending yourself.
That’s what we have coming.
abused FOR it
I don’t doubt you. There was quite a bit of that hair-trigger behavior among many black girls at my high school.
Maybe. Could be the old playground was closest. No way a 12-year-old is going to drag a toddler an additional 300 yards (per the article) just so he’s got decent equipment to play on. That would defeat the purpose of getting him to want to return home as quickly as possible.
Racism is racism. There is no “new kind” of racism. Racism is the belief that status is determined by one’s race, nothing more, nothing less. The ramifications may be benign or they can be malign but they stem from that one simple attitude.
How clueless is this guy? Another liberal who has been mugged.
That post brings back memories, of a sort. In my high school, in the 70’s, the black girls had a different kind of hair trigger. They’d nest razor blades in their afros, then they’d slap an unprepared white girl, and when she retaliated by grabbing the assailant’s hair, well, you can guess the result.
Hmm. I'm detecting mistake #1.
how do carefully select a place to live and choose Harlem??
What kind of crazy criteria did they use??
Exactly. If they had a realtor it wasn’t a very smart one.
Oh come on now, it's written by a leftist lesbian. They never lie.
That is a way low benchmark....held by much of the world
