I forgot that you were from Alaska. Tell you what: I'll avoid making broad generalizations about Eskimos if you do the same with African Americans. You can quantify your point with the word "many" if you like. If you feel the need to share it with the world, it still comes across as your basic opinion on black people in general.

That being said, I agree that older black people tend to be more suspicious of race. Unfortunately, since they lived through segregation they get a pass.

No. No one gets a pass. If they hold me to a standard, they should be held to the same standard. No exceptions. I don't care what has happened to them.

Fair enough, especially with the point about segregation. Be well wherever you are.
