1. His brown self is a step back to denial
This one just made me tired, girl. I mean, how much can one woman rant? But considering this:

The commission's main job is to investigate and to publicly highlight charges of racial discrimination.

After hearing him say, basically, he hadn't noticed if he'd ever experienced said racial discrimination in his lifetime...'nuf said.

OF COURSE, I realize he was trying to illustrate that 'his brown self' just pushed ahead without using race as an 'excuse' but I know his true intent is to marginalize race as an issue.
