(14,249 posts)Oh, I am SO sorry, Mr. White Man (I assume its not race-bait or Trump-like divisive to refer to you as white since you so identified yourself in your little tirade) - I didnt realize that I or any other black person owed you a debt of gratitude, a lifetime of appreciation and consistent efforts to tiptoe around your delicate sensibilities so you dont feel like we slapped you in the face with our ingratitude for your generations of selfless work on our behalf.
Here, I thought you did all of that because thats what decent, progressives who love their country and the people in it are SUPPOSED to do. I wasnt aware that you were expecting my undying appreciation for your great sacrifice.
I will be much more mindful in the future of the great debt you think I owe you. Of course, it wont change anything I say or do because, as far as Im concerned, I dont owe you jack squat. But I certainly will take into account your obnoxious, self-entitled assurance of your right to assert some twisted sense of privilege over those of us you have deemed too juvenile and pretentious for you to respect our shitty truth.
Thank you, my friend, for showing your true colors - and for providing a dead-on illustration of exactly what Wypipo means .
