>-does it validate/verify your position that blacks ain't >shit?
that's not a position i hold, but certain posts definitely tend to reinforce that *some* black people (like some of all people) ain't shit.
>-do you feel like jumping-in and defending your own people?
i feel like trying to create a multi-perspective dialogue if there's any real conversation being had.
>-do you read in disbelief?
every now and again.
>-do you feel misunderstood?
from time to time but if there's a real conversation in the "offensive" post a lot of times i think i convey a perspective that's helpful to some people.
>-are you too nervous to reply to these questions?
nah. and i often appreciate the offensive posts honestly. it's nice to have a broad range of opinions and read perspectives that i don't usually get. even if they're ignorant and terrible, it's a perspective that's out there and part of the marketplace of ideas.
