As is clearly evident today. Just read some of these comments.

We know a bigoted jerk when we see him, or read his postings on an internet message board. No "magical thinking" required.<br /><br />Example: the angry white men, and occasionally their angry white wives, who use every single story that appears on the Observer webpage to denounce, disparage, and demean this President, whether there's any remotely rational connection or not. <br /><br />It exposes an underlying psychological pathology that seems to be at the root of the political problems facing this country today. And it's really quite easy to spot.Archiguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402271358568917397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-29953028858680218032013-08-24T08:56:53.712-07:002013-08-24T08:56:53.712-07:00Liberals are science deniers regarding human psych...Liberals are science deniers regarding human psychology, just as conservatives are science deniers regarding anthropogenic climate change.

There is one truth that shines through this thread, white people don't like you talking about their real history. A secondary truth is that the racism of their parents is alive today and changing to fit the times.<br /><br />As a white person, my emphasis is on the shortcomings of that which I know, that which I have lived and lived with. Change what you can, people, yourselves. If we are successful at that, I am sure we will find that the others changed while we were not lookingAubrey Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729435398376367124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-32114475777369164862013-08-24T06:18:52.472-07:002013-08-24T06:18:52.472-07:00If you think racism isn't alive in the black c...If you think racism isn't alive in the black community, just go there. And I am not talking about the ghetto, go spend a day at Johnson C Smith, see how "welcomed" you are. I find that the black community is much more racist than the white community, it's just that nobody wants to tell that story, cause they want to tell the story of how people in power suppress people not in power.

There's no such thing as a conversation whereby one party is shouted down.<br /><br />Whites don't want any part of a "national conversation about race." They know if they speak the truth they will be called a racist.<br /><br />Blacks don't want to hear the truth. They only want to focus on their victimization. <br /><br />Meanwhile the rest of the world has moved on.

It is as much a great American story as the movie of Walt Disney will be. To not understand either story is to live in a world that you willingly do not know except as how your own mind has constructed it, a poor substitute for reality.<br />And, my fellow white people, get over your feelings of being manipulated. Black folks who watched "Winter's Bone" might use it to misunderstand white folks, and that would be their problem.Aubrey Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729435398376367124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-1380699099611698332013-08-23T17:34:52.977-07:002013-08-23T17:34:52.977-07:00I am sure that 2:55 was giving a heartfelt reply, ...I am sure that 2:55 was giving a heartfelt reply, but I loved The Butler, and I took no guilt trip. Without knowing from where we came as seen through the eyes of those whose experiences were different from mine, how can I understand them today? On another level, it was a great story, and haven taken my 7 and 10 year old grandsons, I introduced them to Gone With The Wind a few nights later, another great story that is told from a completely different point of view. Columnist Leonard Pitts had an article this week on TRUTH and how old black grandparents were often seen bringing their grandchildren to see the movie so they would know the truth of the grandparent's world. I accept that, and while I am glad that my grandchildren have been introduced to this TRUTH, there was no personal guilt trip. I never thought of it that way.Aubrey Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729435398376367124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-69246030899178389432013-08-23T16:41:18.237-07:002013-08-23T16:41:18.237-07:00This might help:

I do have friends and social acquaintances who are black, but they tend to be college educated, live in my neighborhood or in neighborhoods similar to mine and dress and talk as I do. I have no white friends who are high school drop outs, who live in trailor parks, who are tatted up or who butcher the king's English. So, people do tend to associate with others who share their interests, their values and their lifestyle. As far as blacks are concerned, no doubt slavery, Jim Crow laws, etc., kept many in poverty. But, there are many programs now aimed specifically toward helping them get an education sufficient to enable them to move up the economic ladder. And I, for one, am tired of constantly having the guilt trip laid on me by media outlets such as the Observer. Why in the world would a wide audience pay to see a movie that tries to make them feel guilty about the plight of many blacks today when nobody seems to have a clue as to what to do about it. Generational poverty, whether it is among whites or blacks, has much to do with decades of learned behavior.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-56523495802637065362013-08-23T13:35:03.477-07:002013-08-23T13:35:03.477-07:00The person who released the most honest film about...The person who released the most honest film about the Iraq war just got 35 years in prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-6373314742205478802013-08-23T13:02:10.006-07:002013-08-23T13:02:10.006-07:00I don't know of a country on earth where peopl...I don't know of a country on earth where people don't segregate to be among "their own".<br /><br />Even in Africa, people primarily associate with members of their own "tribe".<br /><br />So it's probably here to stay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7398139335366037888.post-15476107296650481932013-08-23T12:17:00.882-07:002013-08-23T12:17:00.882-07:00we work, go to school, and eat together, but thats...we work, go to school, and eat together, but thats about it - we are a totally segregated by choice nationTrout.Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193654227603878353noreply@blogger.com
