(18,124 posts)and extremely appreciated by a 68 year old mixed race male, AA in american apartheid culture, who tried what certain ones here see as the proper, polite approach and it did not work. I reiterate my point to those who counsel, patience, politeness and concern for the feelings of people who seem to understand that there is a decades long continuing race relations problem in american society and culture, but who for various reasons, holding on to white privilege being a major one I think, cannot stand up and say out loud to the white racist of this society, NO MORE! So I will do it in whatever way I deem appropriate in any given situation, as you seem to understand and concur with.
Today, from Trayvon Martin to Sandra Bland and beyond, politeness has not worked with the racist and trumpenfuhrer's trumpshirts are proving it.
