Race

[profrobert]

Bunny42 commented on another thread of mine, and I promised to give her a considered response, because I think she makes her comment and asks her questions in good faith.  She wrote (in part):

Would you agree that "Whites Only Need Apply" is discriminatory and racist? If so, then why isn't "Black Women Only May Apply" discriminatory and racist, as well?

Thank you for your kind words. I need to consider my response a bit and get my thoughts in order. I'll be back.

This is hard. I keep going off on related tangents. I want my response to be concise and reflect my thoughts about your post. I'm still here.

Did you get notification of my comment back to you through Dreamwidth? I'm moving over there so that I don't have to rely on Russian servers that could be cut off either by Russia or the West. I believe you have a DW account, but let me know if you need a link or anything.

What's your name over there? Felisdemens moved to DW, and so far, I can't see the archive she migrated. Don't know if I have to add people to my friends list on DW, and, if so, how? I looked at it a little bit, the other night, but I see that DW and LJ are not playing well together, so maybe that's part of it.

So, no, I didn't see your reply in DW.

DW user name is still ProfRobert. This item is at https://profrobert.dreamwidth.org/153489.html It's not locked or anything. What I said in the message was "Take your time (I certainly did)," and added that I'd copied everything over to DW. Let me know if you still can't access it.
