Black bigotry, white racism differ

OK, this is going to be my last post on this thread. Neither the truth, nor a debate to uncover the truth can be vicious. Truth is morally neutral. You think this issue is touchy, but it's all in your head. You have arbitrarily created a taboo that you dare not think about.

Are you are afraid that a discussion or awareness of this absolutely crucial problem of race differences will cause some kind of pogrom because, you know, the whites are stupid and vicious and are just itching to start lynching?

Oh, and of course, nobody approves of cowardice.

***That quote is a gem***

It's a keeper, isn't it?! You have a great idea about putting it on a billboard, etc. Act on it! ;o)

That quote is SO good I just have to post it again!

"There is a class of colored people who make a businiess of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well."

This is a garbage argument. Always was, Always would be.

You know it, I know it, damn shame EVERYBODY doesn't at least recognize it.
