ORIGINAL: touchthesky of course no one is admitting they are racist. sadly they probably think they are not, but whites think everyone should hold to their standard, in fact they don't even think there are other standards.and they can all sit around and agree among themselves they aren't racist.its pretty funny to me. Trust me, as a mexican, i heard it all before. Someone is going to post now saying how some of their best friends are black, HEHEHEHE While I will acknowledge elements of white priviledge, racism, and white guilt amongst most, if not all caucasians (whether they know it or not), I happen to think that prejudice goes in all directions. You, my dear, seem quite prejudiced to me. I think it is possible, through serious self-examination and exploration, to develop a non-racist white identity. I don't, however, think that excusing poor grammar and spelling because of the color of someone's skin is a good way to go about that. In fact, I think it's counter-productive. I go to a college in which probably at least a third of the students are persons of color, and many of them speak and write English more properly than I do. On the other hand, I happen to have been raised in a family full of ignorant redneck types who couldn't string together a paragraph any more coherently than the OP here. I think they would have been similarly lambasted had they posted here. Pulling the, "you're all racist," card in a situation in which that just isn't true isn't helping anyone. Why can't we all just get along, for crying out loud? As for the OP... well suffice it to say that my thoughts echo many of those already stated here. Personally I find the importance of anal sex somewhat over-emphasized in places. I enjoy it, but it is definitely not my favorite thing ever.
