Your type of enlightenment I will politely pass. Make whatever rationalizations to float your boat that this has nothing to do with institutionalized racism which just ended only 50 years ago, and somehow the continued systematic denial of opportunity and equality is simply my or Sal's imagination.......and that there are really really really bad black people, and I simply will not understand. Stellar logic.....it is just Sal and I who do not understand that it is simply civility......that white flight, and choosing not to be around people of color does not happen, and that black schools are not almost as segregated as they were forty years ago, and that educational opportunity is not equal, but usually based on property taxes which allows the cycle of poverty and racism to continue. No, I think there are graduate programs waiting for your thesis......it will be rendered to cliff notes, or civility for dummies.
Read your words again that I've put in bold fonts before you read what I write next.
Right now I have a $30,000 video projector sitting on my sofa. My friend paid $1500 for it in an industrial surplus auction a few months ago. He had it shipped to me because he's doing civilian contractor work in Afghanistan and living on a small military installation in the desert in a hut so he couldn't ship it to himself.
He's coming home Friday and we are both looking forward to his visit.
He lives in suburbia in Pace with his wife and two kids. Both kids are as smart as he is. One is in college and the other about to be. And I would marry his wife if she was not already married and would have me because she is a sweetheart.
He is one of the very best friends I have ever had in my 64 years of living.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention, he and his wife and his two children are as black as the ace of spades.
They are the number 1 I'm talking about.
So what you wrote that I put in bold fonts is utter unmitigated horseshit and I resent the fuck out of you telling me that when you have no goddamn fucking idea what you're talking about.
I resent it as much as I did when that bitch Chrissy said I was lying about my cancer.
