Got here via the Angry Black Bitch husself, cause I love me some Bitch. <BR/><BR/>I also wanted to let you know that air_force1 is an imbecile if he truly doesn't believe that straight, white, Christian MEN are priviledged in this country. Delusional, in fact. While I do agree that a story should never start with "I have a friend, who's black", because to me...that doesn't make a crapload of difference. Unless you are trying to find someone who committed a crime, skin tone doesn't matter. It is descriptive, no different than if someone called me fat. But I also do not believe it makes you a RACIST because you do so. Obviously, AF1 hasn't been privvy to racial or religious discrimination to be able to have a real grasp on the matter.<BR/><BR/>He appears to be a sarcastic asswipe, but his opinion is important, nevertheless. Why? Because it is always good to have a disillusioned fool make the rest of us look a lot smarter.<BR/><BR/>Blow it off, doll. You learned a valuable lesson of color from children. That's priceless and you shared it willingly with people. You admitted your flawed thinking and that makes you all the more beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Peace.<BR/><BR/>CP.CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266202135270130146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11234066.post-1145413199595578122006-04-18T21:19:00.000-05:002006-04-18T21:19:00.000-05:00Seeing a "multicultural" pack of Crayola crayons k...Seeing a "multicultural" pack of Crayola crayons kind of hit me and L'Ailee a few months back, just as a reminder that our skin colors are liked better in American society than others, even though there are so many others. Makeup counters can do that to us, too. At least Crayola no longer calls the peach one "flesh."<BR/><BR/>The fact that you *can* learn and feel and worry means that you haven't got that much to worry about, I think.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11234066.post-1145412883908992722006-04-18T21:14:00.000-05:002006-04-18T21:14:00.000-05:00thanks air force 1, i don't consider myself a raci...thanks air force 1, i don't consider myself a racist either. but the fact of the matter is i will never have to worry about the kind of discrimination that others face because i am xtian, white and straight. <BR/><BR/>i'm not ashamed of myself or who i am. i'm pretty self-aware. that said i will always take prayerschristine mtmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250140239270398550noreply@blogger.com
