[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post is critical of the author and the concept, but for those who agree or disagree with the author, I thought the second-to-last comment on March 20, 2015 at 4:06 PM was excellent.

That poster was right on.  I think this exactly explains many of the ills in these communities. Seriously.  
 
Taken from this post:

[b]"I found out very early in life that if you want to get along with most White people who are in a position of power you had better not express any negative emotions about race, rape or poverty. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT was the message. If you even hint that there is a culture of exploitation that targets these populations you will be hooted down as an excuse maker, ungrateful, living in the past and un-American."[/b]

I think this statement is so true.  My parents (especially my AA father) expressed this to me and my brother often, and I often express a similar message to my 12 year old DD unconsciously. [/quote]
