So now you're going to get all pissy at me? Wow. Nice one.
And by the way, I'd strongly suggest you shut your snotty little mouth about my relationship with members of my family! You are WAY out of line little girl!
I've been MORE THAN civil to you, and MORE THAN patient with your viewpoint. But in short, you've earned these two words: Kiss off. There's a reason you keep flitting from forum to forum, and finding trouble everywhere. There is a common denominator you refuse to admit. You're a victim of EVERYTHING. You CREATE unique ways of being a victim. Congratulations.
Tisk tisk sir, someone can't hold their temper. I'm not sure what you mean by flitting form forum to forum, I think you are mistaking me for someone else. I apologize if you felt that my comments were too personal, though I find that interesting that you have constantly told me what I thought and how I felt and what I would do, as you have with many others. But the difference is I did not attack you and I thought you were above this kind of thing. I do apologize though, because it was not my intent to hurt your feelings, though it is obvious that that was your intent towards me. I obviously hit a sore spot with you and that was not what I was looking to do.
Was an interesting read and a lot of that still applies today. The article is over 20 years old though and I believe race relations have improved since 1988 a good amount.
As the country continues to diversify, things will get even better.

Quit being such a little snot. Good grief, you really must think you know everything.
Do you want to know some of the possible reasons my wife doesn't complain about sexism? Maybe it's because she's actually happy being a woman - and quite satisfied with her marriage, her family and her life. Maybe it's because she doesn't want to be a man. Maybe she isn't so immersed in self-victimhood that she assumes she's being discriminated against every time she turns around. Because of her high intelligence, social skills and job skills, she has been repeatedly offered job promotions she hasn't wanted. Shortly after we were married, 25 years ago, the company she worked for wanted to move her into corporate management. But she didn't want that. And she has never regretted her decision. Unlike you, she is not a victim. She is an incredibly beautiful, smart, talented, and successful WOMAN. You could take some lessons from her!
I know you think you know everything, and you're closed minded to all points of view other than yours, but you really need to grow up. I'm quite tired of your impudent attitude.
Until then though, you just keep right on being the victim of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.
Everytime you keep calling me snooty and know it all, just makes you sound like you possibly are intimidated by smart women, or atleast this smart woman. No I don't know everything, but I do know a lot and I refuse to dumb myself down and use small words to make people more comfortable. The point of me bringing up your wife or daughter was not to talk about YOUR wife and daughter. Heck I didn't even know if you had a wife and daughter. I was making a general statement about how most men are unaware fo the sexism that women deal with, and so I just used typical women figures that would be in a man's life....a mother, a wife, a daughter, an aunt, etc.
Anyway, you can take my apology for what it is or not. However, I refuse to play into this conversation so you can have a forum in which to call me names and use that little eye rolly thing you seem so fond of. So in the words of the great Willy Wonka, "I say GOOD DAY, SIR!"

You're right, it is a bit dated. Yet, still quite relevant. (MacIntosh's reading is considered to be a classic.) When I was a professor, I would have students go through and put a check-mark by everything that applied to them. It was always an interesting way to start a good dialogue about race.
Incidentally, there is a similar list entitled Christian Privilege. That one is also a good read.

Yes and one entitled Male Priviledge. BTW, have you ever seen the movie "The Color of Fear"? Good stuff.

I am not the least bit intimidated (nor impressed) by you.
I have seen that video. It's intense, but good. I also like "Skin Deep."
Have you ever been to a NAME conference? They had a great workshop on that particular video one of the years I went.
