Hilarious, what choice of words should I use...  Are you claiming that AA culture is not insecure.  It is!  Stop caring what another person thinks about you, your hair or otherwise...   This is one of the major ills that AA cannot get over.[/quote]

I began writing out a furious response to this racist, ignorant, profoundly moronic post.

Then I realized that you just don't get it and likely never will, because your level of intelligence is as weak as your stubborn desire to enforce institutionalized racist ideas is strong, because that's the society you grew up in and it gives you comfort to reinforce those notions, while dismissing anyone who confronts your prejudice with rational, intelligent words.

Good luck to you.[/quote]

This is not racist..  This is a cultural issue.  How exactly is wishing AA stop caring what white society thinks about them racist?  Furthermore what society did I grow up in?   The US is bizarro land right now because anytime race come up everyone is supposed to clam and bow down to being PC.  This is very hurtful to AA's and reinforces races as whites get to feel sorry for hem and feel superior.[/quote]

You seem to believe that African Americans are behaving like that pimply dorky kid in school who so desperately wanted to be accepted by the popular kids and cared what they thought about him. This attitude is an example of why another poster complained that (mistakenly, in his context) "we can't talk about race" - because attitudes like the one you are displaying show such ignorance.

You are trivializing racial ignorance because you don't understand why it is wrong. You made an idiotic blanket statement of an entire ethnic community and ought to expect people to call you out on it. Standing up when someone brings up a racial issue that has for centuries been part of the oppression and destruction of cultural pride of a certain group, has nothing to do with being "insecure" and "insensitive". It has everything to do with self-respect and empowerment. If you are white, male, Protestant, and heterosexual in America, it might be more difficult for you to understand that. But plenty of white, male Protestant heterosexuals have managed to understand that "being PC" is not about treading on eggshells around people's fragile egos, but about understanding that stereotypes are both stupid and inaccurate. If they can do it, I'm sure you can manage it too.[/quote]

I don't think the pimply nerd is a good analogy...  Its more like a insecure bully who you have to watch what you say or you'll get effed up.

I can't be ignorant because I'm fully aware of AA culture, grew up surrounded by it.  Know it in and out.  Now again, its not exactly the fault of the AA community that as a culture there's insecurity.  I'm not attacking here, I'm saying if it never goes away, progress will not be made.  And I think racist want AA to be secure and encourage it.

Now, I never claimed that people should throw around stereotypes, I claimed that a society where one group can never be offended will never be an equal society.  One group will always be the offended and the other will have the power to always be able to manipulate and push their buttons.[/quote]
