I tried to hold the fort, but a 5000 word essay from you on the subject would be very helpful.
There is not much I could really add to a conversation that is had with people that I know have little or no contact with African-Americans in their everyday lives. Closest contact that most posters have with African-Americans would be that through an Xbox controller when they play NBA2K.
Furthermore, I strongly feel that not one of the participating posters has a degree of empathy for the person of interest. Racism is a water cooler discussion for them or a teachable "those" people scenarios as they chuckle with family members at the dinner table in their comfy home in the suburbs.
Racism is just a laugh, other people's problem, a collection of internet memes or something that you watch on the news.
As they are in perfect form, the usual suspects at Anger General post a lot words while really and truly rarely saying of anything of substance or of great insight. Perhaps if they were punched in the mouth would they feel a degree of empathy or perhaps hatred?
Very few posters can relate nor care to relate to anything about this man (his looks, his demeanour and other psychographic measures) and there is nothing wrong with this fact. He's just a dude like Rodney King, Trayvon Martin and other countless other dangerous black men (dindus) that are largely regarded as nuisances to the white world that most AG posters live.
The OJ trial, the anthem protests and other events in our lives and in the media remind us of the different worlds that we live.
Racism is not for most if not all that post here, but it does make for good conversation and the occasional laugh.
Not quite 5,000 words, but once again, I could not add much to a conversation when it is quite obvious that the expressed informed opinions are derived from an in-depth understanding of racism with great insight as to what is to be an African-American in America.
