But keep in mind, there are many things that I hold back on too. These are things that aren't even insults, but observations that I think many others would find offensive. Things having to do with white family structure, and so on (won't elaborate).
Importantly, even though on the outside, I appear to be the model black woman, you really wouldn't guess what I go through. I am thin, pretty, make 300K a year, well educated, parents well educated, and even married to a white man! I speak foreign languages, traveled and so on. That should do the trick, shouldn't it? But I hope that you understand that I often ask myself things like why the white women I work with get more relaxed schedules when they have babies, and why they make 50K more than I do. (BTW, before you get into that bell curve nonsense, my SAT scores were over 1400 in the days that no one "studied" for them, so were my 4 sisters'). In the end, the stress is unbearable at times.
For the record, I would never let Dr. Laura into my home because she is crass, and that was before these comments. Also, my husband does not hang out with low classed people like the ones that caller identified as her husband's "friends".
I really don't understand the point of this response.. All you've really managed to do, is tell me that you see problems with white people/families, and than proceed to build yourself up.. IMO, some of the biggest "racism" problems that we face today, are people looking for ways that they're being discriminated against so that they can call racism. And that's not just African Americans either.. (how many times have you heard things like "well if we had a White Entertainment Television, it'd be discrimination and racist" and comments like that...)
