When I was 12 years old, I played tennis at a certain public park in the Bronx. One day it got back to me that a black fellow at the courts, whose name I forget, said "Selwyn doesn't like black people." This raised my eyebrows. You see, I had never really thought about the man one way or the other. And what occupied my mind were forehands, backhands, topspin and volleys, not race. So the only thing I could figure was that I was probably in a funk one day and didn't hear and acknowledge a greeting he might have extended.
Whatever the perceived slight, race was a factor. After all, imagine the reaction if he had been white. At worst he might have thought, "Selwyn is a self-absorbed brat," which would have been closer to the truth. Or he might just have concluded that I was having a bad day (I was an aspiring player at the time, but, lamentably, had a lot of bad days). Instead, he saw bad intentions where none existed.

Great piece. Selwyn Duke is one of my favorites.
Never had a racist bone in my body my whole life. Roomed with blacks at college. Hired blacks. Fired blacks. But I tell you the last 20 years have been a bitch. All these fatherless kids are now grown up and all they know is anger. Scary.
Because they need somebody to blame besides themselves.
I'm not saying Conservative can not be racist...I'm saying a Conservative being racist is falling short of their principle
Conversely liberal judge all based on group/race not individual...liberal believe patronizing "love" for one group/race over and another is not racist...yet being judge based on your group/race is racist
Try not being angry after listening all day and all night to angry rap music.
Rap music is designed to make people get angry and want to fight. Why do you think fights start up in nightclubs and any place that blacks and rap music are? It’s a music designed to create violence.
It’s a moot point - the Mexicans are coming.
Why are we ALL forced to allow a small fraction of the 13.9% of the population that are black keep the rest of us on edge and in turmoil? It is not right for anyone to be allowed to do that.
This small fraction can’t let their black racism go because without it they would have no cause and no excuse for failure. 150 years ago over 700,000 Americans died over a period of less than 5 years for the freedom of the blacks in this country. For the last 50 years every possible advantage has been given them. Money, privilege, education opportunities, preference in education and hiring and still it is not enough. Isn’t it time they were just plain equal and nothing more?
Once their blackness of Africa is out of them then their grievances might be over. A person has to remember the African has been living tribally for millions of years. Thievery and racism are common to most of them. They have traditions in corruption and death.... one of them called genocide by the white man..... who they are is genetic for millions of years of living their way.
Truly, we the white do not understand racism, however, a little trip to Africa will show that we are fools in our understanding of it.
... what theys needs to do is get off their can of being Afro-Americans, and jump on the American treadmill. Get educated, get a job, get married( in the Christain way, one woman one man (for life)), make the social contract and be a person.

At least people are starting to talk about it, if only after apologizing and explaining not being “racist”. Drop the “racist” crap, and face the reality of the pathologies of the black ghetto. Some of my best friends are not black, OK?
“Why are we ALL forced to allow a small fraction of the 13.9% of the population that are black keep the rest of us on edge and in turmoil? It is not right for anyone to be allowed to do that.”
Here’s a quote for you:
“Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than that these people are to be free; nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.”
- Thomas Jefferson
Let me tell you, Blacks are hypocrites when is comes to racism and profiling.
Try walking through black neighborhood during the day, much less at night.
Just do it once and you'll have a whole new perspective on the whole race issue.
Listening to the civil rights complainers I realize that their theatre over race is purely metaphysical in nature. How it ends I do not know, but I do know that trying to counter with facts is nearly useless.
