In reply to the discussion: The online attitudes of quite a few "Progressive" white folks regarding dehumanizing language [View all]The Polack MSgt
(13,426 posts)19. Well let me answer this way
When are nonwhite folks allowed to forget the humanity of white people?
Shit cousin. There are more white folks on BET than blacks on NBC.
i believe that only white folks have the luxury to assume that other peoples lives are somehow similar to their own... That our experiance of life is the standard.
And worrying about nonwhites having a sense of superiority in America is laughable at best and suspicious in my eyes.
