Jul 24, 2015 i agree with this -- i think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate cultural differences and, yes, maybe even poke fun at those differences on occasion. at the same time, we must also recognize (and this isn't limited to the US) that decades of systemic prejudice have imparted certain behaviors to specific classes of people. passing a law, or listening to one type of music, will not alleviate generations of suffering. but rather a broader dialogue will foster understanding and, hopefully, begin to close the gap. change is slow, and thats necessary in alot of cases -- thats one of the most encouraging aspects about obama's presidency. by the time he leaves office, you will have schools of children who only know a black man as president. regardless of his policies and their efficacy, that speaks volumes id also like to cc: @WPG who is both quite white, and a scholar of all things black. also, its important to also include @Swizz, who is black
Jul 24, 2015 I'm honored to be considered an ultra whitey, at the same time I don't think Captain Awesome's blood is as pure as mine and JFK's.
