real talk about professional blacks who report racial incidents

Date: November 23rd, 2015 9:05 AM Author: spaceporn2525 I know many professional, white collar blacks who have received the benefits of AA all their lives. They have never in their lives experienced a risk of physical violence (by whites) as a result of their race, and they have never encountered anything but special programs that financially help them But when one of these persons experiences, at one time in their life, someone yelling something racist from a car window in a small town, say, or a cab driver pick up someone else rather than them (without in either instance having any foundation for a belief they are being discriminated against), they post it on FB, talk about it online and in public, "racism is alive and well," etc etc. These are not simple country folk. These are professionals. As I say to my five year old when he cries during a rough and tumble, "man up. It didn't hurt that much. Do you want to go home?" "No" --Stops crying--continues playing. Until we recognize that blacks can encounter an instance or two of some powerless bigot slighting them over the course of a charmed lifetime without the need for RED ALERTS over racial injustice, our public policy on race is going to continue to be completely absurd.
