Subject: RE: BS: Tavis Smiley on Wrightgate
The racism I encounter that comes from blacks I try to excuse as a result of lifetimes of abuse. We all know if you starve and punish a dog it will become vicious. Since the Jewish holocaust there is now a jewish militant faction that is angry and armed to the teeth with nukes.
The anger is understandable in the music. The fear and resentment is understandable among the uneducated segment of the black culture but it is not Black culture. Some call it the Malcome X militant faction. But whatever you call it, it is not the bulk of black American culture.

I may be way off but I believe the median attitude of the black American is in line with a modern day Denzel Washington or the latter day Ossie Davis.

So when I encounter racism by blacks I tend to excuse it , right or wrong, and feel like their struggle isn't mine. If I can I pass along that you'll get more compliments with honey than vineger...even basaltic vinegar.
