dumb white men (and probably women, too)

dumb white men... and women, too

>Thats why it continues to happen.

No, it continues because dumb white men and women, who maybe aren't quite so dumb, when you think about it, like their privilege and sense of superiority... and because it (racism) perpetuates itself and moves into intangible forms which y'all won't believe because y'all don't believe in anything that cannot be touched, prodded, and analyzed.

>People like to be dumb.

White people like to be dumb -- in terms of racism.

Who ever said it was really about colors? I tend to think it's about cultural imperalism and hegemony. How about you?

Whatever consciousness lives in said being's head.

I don't think you know what people mean when they say Black or white... And there are other brands... like RoseArt...

Sorry, but you already did.

Not yours because you have the privilege to not "play" to not deal and be comfy in the privilege you are benefitting from, no matter where your ancestors were.
