My last salvo at Stuff White People Do blog

[witchsistah]

This is when the blog owner, Macon, flounced his own blog. I'm posting this because it ties in with the reasons why I'm for chivalry and think BW really need to think critically about it and not just go along with what privileged, WW think about it. Here's my last words on that and how the BW there were treated:

Yeah, basically my feeling.

I know this older black lady, who is Christian and I completely lost respect for her. After a series of exchanges she told me that this white boy she was friends with is racist, and that she's trying to reform him. She's a sweet woman but very stupid

I don't know how old the woman in question is, but if she's around my age (early 40s), she may be acting that way because that's how many of us were taught. We were the first generation to grow up AFTER the Civil Rights Era. We mostly didn't know about ish like segregated accomodations. AND we were taught to be ambassadors for our race. This was especially daunting since we would have, in many ways--but not so much in others, much more access to White people than our forebears. Part of this ambassadorship was to go out and show Whites that we were just as good and as human as they were. For many Blacks, part of this was trying to convert Whties to theis thought process
