Default Re: Getting tired of being white (7/11 trip report)

Well put.

Call 100 black women "sister" and see the reactions you get.

Dude, you don't get it. It's not about whether you're being racist, it's about not offending the person. If you're white, calling a random black person 'brother' can obviously be offensive to some black people, and I can see why. Therefore it's stupid to do it.

Nobody cares if you live in you're own ideological world where you can say whatever you want to whoever you want regaurdless of race (as it really should be), because that's just not how it really works, face it.
