[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so Y’all are essentially saying NOT to judge blacks by the content of their character because their character is a victim of [institutional racism].

It is not them underperforming in school, involved in petty or violent crimes, children out of wedlock, denigrating women and cursing in hip hop. It is not them, that is all due to [racism].

I honestly don’t see an endgame here.[/quote]

Just out of curiosity...If I'm black and I did not under-perform in school nor was I ever involved in any petty or violent crime nor was I nor my children born out of wedlock nor do I denigrate women and prefer jazz to hip hop am I still allowed to have strong opinions about systemic racism and white privilege?[/quote]

You flip the switch depending on who you’re hanging out with. Just like I have to. You’re torn. Your kids are likely in private school if you have the extra income or wealth.

I’m more [b]curious how you balance personal responsibility with your opinions on “systemic racism and white privilege.”[/b][/quote]

You're not familiar with sarcasm are you? [/quote]

How do you balance it again? Regardless of whatever you want to label yourself. [/quote]

Well as far as personal responsibility goes I strive to be a good person a good parent and a good professional, simple as that.  
And as far as systemic racism and white privilege goes I don't live in a bubble of delusion and denial about the deep roots of racism and discrimination in this country and I don't think that they magically disappeared in 1963 when Dr. King gave his "I Have A Dream" speech, simple as that.[/quote]
See, you can be a good parent and good professional and still live a life of victim-hood.  [/quote]

You’re mistaken.  My awareness of the realities and ramifications of racism is what keeps me from being a victim because I stand up and speak out and see to it that any attempts to dehumanize me or disrespect me or discriminate against me are identified and addressed. L[/quote]
