"Like many Americans, I am tired of being lectured about racism by racists and racialists, individuals whose full-field explanation for all life’s issues is this matter of genetic happenstance that should be increasingly irrelevant in a pluralistic society." - Andrew C. McCarthy - from yesterday's link.
"Call me anything you want, just don't call me late for chow." - old army saying
" I ain't sayin' I'm no better than anybody else, but I'll be damned if I ain't just as good." - From the play "Oklahoma!" by Rodgers and Hammerstein
Uncle Ken's Category III sounds about right for me. It's not always about race, though. I'm just as much against Democrats as I am against Blacks or Hispanics, and Hispanic isn't a race anyway, it's a nationality. Truth be known, I don't like most White people all that much either, and there are even some Republicans who disappoint me. I have been in various groups in my life, but not for a long time now. Just because I am not a card carrying member doesn't mean I can't vote for them, and I will anytime I think their agenda is closer to mine than the other guy's agenda.
