That's Tim Wise, not Robbins. How did you get Robbins in the title?

someone who would take their minds off such troubling concepts as racism, and instead implore them to “greatness,”

And that person was indeed Ronald Reagan. I agree with Robbins here. But I see nothing wrong with aspiring to greatness while others of all colors, wallow in self pity and complain about not being born a Rockerfeller or a Kennedy.

Tim Robbins, another immature boy throwing tantrums for attention. It's all about HIM ya know.

Someone quick, pat Junior on the top of his head and send him on his way.

But knowing white folks – I am after all one of them, and have been surrounded by them all of my life – I have little doubt that where there’s a will to remain in la-la land, we will surely find a way.

*** Go to hell Tim Wise... you're nothing but a self hating spineless liberals who looks in the mirror and wants to kill himself because you were born white. I AM SICK TO DEATH OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Shove it out your pie hole.
