(502 posts)The problem is, the overt "h8ers-gonna-h8" racists won't read it. So who are you talking to?
Yep, us liberal/progressive whites.
A simple tweak to your OP's headline might help: Dear Racist White AmeriKKKa: Time to Get the Message.
PS. As a progressive white man, I can't tell you the times my stomach has dropped when some other Caucasian--mistaking me for one of his racist own--goes off on a rant about "those people". It's always very, very ugly. And wedded to homophobia, misogyny, rigid thinking, religious and cultural bigotry, approval of the physical abuse of children as "discipline"--the whole damn bag of Neanderthalic attitudes.
Which is not meant as a dig at Neanderthals, by the way. One of the reasons Neanderthals may have died out is because they were kinder, gentler, less devious and savage than mass-murdering Cro-Magnon man--us. Now that's a thought, isn't it? The genocidal, merciless branch of the human species won the fight for survival. Explains much, methinks . . .
