These words are from Austin Channing Brown’s new book, “I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness,” released this week.

Well, why IS she still here? There are plenty of countries where none of the police are white, none of the politicians are white, where you probably won't see almost any white people. If white devils are such a horrible burden to be around, why doesn't she pick one of these countries and go live there?

You know, I’ve NEVER asked a fellow worker about their “blackness” or “Filipinoness” or “Persianness” issues. Not once. (Etc implied)

Yes, with respect to the last, who was working towards gaining his dentistry credentials in the US, I did on one occasion joke (just based on his comments) reassuringly when he talked about the horrors of the breath he’d had to occasionally endure that at least the patients weren’t always eating curries and he laughed and said that was true (I was grabbing at straws in order to reassure because he was obviously feeling down just then, not that I’ve eaten many curries so I really KNOW know what they do to breath). But when it comes down to it I never have worked with people who had obvious chips on their shoulders that I felt the need to.

This guy is tired about being asked about his blackness? Maybe he should wonder WHY people feel they need to ask him. Maybe it’s tiring to work with someone who comes off as if you could be a word or glance away from you stepping on some hidden landmine so that you feel the need to ask?

Many Blacks are obsessed with their own race. Narcissism goes hand in hand with this.

Hard to be dignified when you’re ducking bullets in South Chicago.

My last assignment before I retired from the Air Force was commander of an engineering unit. I had just over 100 engineers and technicians working for me. About a third were blacks. All the Engineers had graduated from reputable engineering schools. The technicians had either been through Air Force technician school, or had certificates from community colleges. All were good workers, and it was one of the best assignments I had in my career. Nobody complained about "whitenes." They just did their jobs, and I was proud of them.

Well, it makes sense that a world made BY whiteness would be a world made FOR whiteness.

As many others have pointed out, there are countries made BY blacks, FOR blacks, lots of them. There are also countries made BY Asians, FOR Asians.

No one disputes the right of blacks or Asians to live in their own countries. made by and for them.

Why should white countries be different?

It appears that the “disadvantage” of being black is the excuse for every shortcoming in many black people. They never acknowledge their advantages, as in many decades of affirmative action (reverse discrimination) or the fact that blacks with good grades have a better chance of acceptance at major universities than whites with similar grades. Do a survey of TV commercials (I did) and you’ll find that blacks appear in about 80% of them although being about 13% of the population.

Austin, I’m sure white people would stay far away from you and shun you if they could. If she is shunned because of her incessant whining, I have no doubt she will start whining about that as well.

Wouldn’t this person be happier in Somalia or perhaps Zimbabwe? There are probably planes leaving every week, if not more often.

More like a world made BY Whiteness. Go back to your jungles if you don’t like running water, toilets, cell phones, email, antibiotics, cars, air travel, or other horrible evils of ‘whiteness’.
