re: #258 HappyWarrior
Reason why I hate the “just between us whites shit” is because you don’t know a thing about me. You don’t know that I spent the past two years in a lawfirm working for an immigrant attorney. You don’w know that my SiL and her sisters are immigrants and very important to me. You don’t know that a lot of the people who have helped me improve my job preparation skills are African-Americans. And you sure as shit don’t know that I will never “choose my race”, I happen to be white because of happenstance not some grand divine thing that makes me white. In fact, if I want to be really blunt, we white people are technically genetic mutants. Nothing wrong with that in a biological sense but it really puts a screw into the whole genetically superior thing these assholes love to push.
I have asked so many people (even my oldest blockhead brother) how they got to choose they would be born into a White family.
Haven’t gotten a decent answer yet. I’m in my 60s now, don’t expect I will.
