Sadly, the majority of the broodmares who give us little darlings like these kids would nod their heads and praise this author for her "understanding", if someone read the column to them and explained what the words meant, and then only if they weren't drugged or drunked out.

Bingo. On the money. Once I finally figured that out, that white liberals such as I considered myself to be at one time, had a vested interest in keeping african-americans economically and socially marginalized, or in a state of IIS&P as you say, was the day I turned in my "bleeding heart" pacemaker. It is neither just nor compassionate to aid & abet self-destructive anti-social behaviors by others by dehumanizing them (as this woman does in denying them their capacity for self-determination) just to keep those federal grants rolling in our way so that Buffy & Muffy & Biff can repay their student loans while working for the Department of Social Services or on Capitol Hill.Took me a while after the brainwashing I received at private schools and an esteemed institution of higher learning, but it finally dawned on me who the real racists were in this country. Better late than never I guess. I still have some amends to make,too.
