"So according to your post #21 the reason that Kramer was offended is because White men are simply incapable of valuing their own opinion over that of others."

Nope, you've confused yourself again. But I understand why that is necessary.

Let's go over it again.

Whites generally don't care what blacks say about them. That's why blacks can call whites 'cracker', 'honky', etc and the whites don't care. Blacks, however, care very much what whites say and react predictably.

The fact that Kramer reacted is more a reflection on Kramer than on whites in general. This is demonstrated by the difference in response between the black and white communities to the racial slurs that flew both ways. The whites couldn't care less what the blacks said.

I'll bet you can confuse yourself again if you try, though.

American whites have not been the position of being subjected to the basest physical and emotional degradations ... while simultaneously being degraded verbally.

Our verbal put-downs originally came with whips, enslavement, lynchings, beatings, rapes, death, imprisonments, tortures, deprivations, etc.

You might say that we're a little sensitive.

Who knows when ya'll might get into your heads to revert.
