Did you ever take a course in Latin ?

Did you ever take a course in logic?

No need to answer.

Absolutely Chuck, its fine to loot and torch a business establishment because, after all, they have insurance & can afford it. It's all good, in the name of "reparations," of course.

You might try hiding your racism a bit more in the public sphere.

Your post is racist also. I'd explain, but then I'd be less of a woke asshole.

Not everything you post is racist. Please note that I have rarely called your posts racist, nor anyone's here.

[Chuck Naill]

It's common to think we as white people are not prejudiced. MLK noted he had many white supporters that wouldn't want their daugthers marrying a black man.

There are bad white people and bad brown and black. It's easy for a white male to think he's self made and not considered what white females, brown and black men and women don't have the same path. Not to recognize this is to be self ignorant.

Pointing out you don't use certain words or think yourself better than others is not the same and not having a prejudice, but some soothe themselves thinking so.

It's common to think we as white people are not prejudiced.

I have several kinds of prejudices, and some more that I am likely not aware of. I try to be conscious of them and work on them. I try not to express them or act on them, but I fail sometimes in that endeavor, too. When the prejudice is about ethnicity or skin color (or some other kind of "racialized" trait) and I speak it out act on it, then I am being racist. I am trying to be better, and I am trying to give voice, occasionally, to those points of view not represented in conversations among whites.

This gets called "woke" by some whites in an effort to disparage it. I hardly feel woke, because I feel I have so much left to learn. But I accept the label because who would not prefer to be awake? Isn't awakeness the spiritual pursuit of all humanity?

That's a fine statement and question, who would prefer not to be "awake"? For me it is like, who would not want to be educated and informed? I see the problem on both sides as the extremes get the attention. If we could understand that in the middle are folks just trying to stay alive and have a decent life we might pay less attention to our colors, gentalia differences, and shapes. We are way past time to get beyond the pettiness of club membership. I think of the women and men who plowed new ground while being flawed. They weren't wearing a t shirt. They were just being brave and making a difference.

I truly feel sorry for you in as respectful manner as I can. I see you as self ignorant. I once was where you were so I am not judging.

[TSherbs]

... I see the problem on both sides as the extremes get the attention.

Yes, especially on internet discussion forums, and especially when our platforms use algorithms that lean toward extremism in order to produce more clicks, follows, etc ($). This has even happened in my family and caused breaches because people are responding to clips and memes from the extremes.

Answer for yourself, not for me, is of course what I meant. Ask *yourself* the question and answer it. Then I will do the same. Let's speak for ourselves, not for each other.
