I think as much as we all appreciate a good, intelligent conversation, we get caught up in not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings and we censor ourselves, black or white.

“I typed a whole bunch more, but I thought twice about posting it. Ah…those filters us black folks were taught to function with.”
Oh Ishtar just say it! – I think thats the point- so many blacks and whites don’t have these candid conversations where both sides can freely speak of their own feelings/experiences and prejudices so many of us don’t move past.

Easy solution…bring back the What!!!!!!!
“No, you don’t, but I love how white people in America pull that same bullshit line every single time. I love it. :-)”
It’s something we learn at a very early age. I think it’s in the John, Jean & Judy readers. 🙂
