General Discussion

perpetually with a "tremendous sense of uneasiness" about what black people are thinking of you because of this enormous load of personal guilt that's always consuming you? Or at least any time you spot a dark skin on the street? The guilt washes over you, the original sin of your white skin sickens you, and you unconsciously brace yourself against your fear that he will turn and see you, and you will have to imagine your despicable self in his eyes?

I'm afraid I have a literal mind. It doesn't dress up this extremely ugly claim of what it is to be a white person, all white people, the white race, as anything more than it is. Or speaking of underestimating, how insulting its depiction of all black people is. I also have a much more optimistic outlook that many people are and have always been decent enough to pull us all through eventually. I that believe in future, probably not all that far ahead as culture continues to change so fast, most of the current hateful off-leash acting out will not be considered valid intellectually or acceptable morally.
