OP your "parable" is crap as it assumes far too much. and any assumptions you make from that "parable" are equally crap. although it does point out the attitudes of the two people involved, so perhaps it isnt such a bad "parable" after all. apparently both people have similar wounds, and yet one moves forward from that wounding, but the other falls to the ground and demands that they be given special treatment.
He cannot see that.
We just went 30+ pages yesterday and he refuses to acknowledge anything other than :Blacks have been mistreated for so long that we are now in a state of helplessness and need to be taken care of from cradle to grave for at least the next 200 years and then maybe things will finally be okay.

Your response is covered in my OP.

It is either a claim of either black weakness and or white strength.
There is only two ways the parable logically concludes: One person is SUPERIOR to the other OR the the two people did not face the same wounding in degree or kind which allowed one to be felled while the other still stands. Not surprising....most respondents thus far have assumed the former.
Wow, as a white person, I had no idea I had such super powers. Maybe all of us should apply for jobs with the CIA or maybe even Interpol. Heck, any law enforcement jobs.
Apparently the five slain police officers in Dallas didn't get the memo that they were impervious to being shot.
I have a parable that metaphorically represents the dialog between blacks and whites in this nation concerning race. I call it the "me too" or "us too" parable.
Two people are walking down the streets and shots ring out. One person falls to the ground in agony with an obvious wound to the stomach and blood on their clothing. The person, moaning in pain says; "I am shot". The other person, standing tall and erect, not in any visible pain, kind of looking in disgust and disrespect of the other persons condition then says; "me too". Whats wrong with that picture? Why does not the same cause, the bullet, produce the same effect in the two?
Essentially, there is no respect for the black condition in America.
Get over it.
FYI, Black men had the right to vote LONG before White women did.

Yes we get it.
The black person in America today has no chance of ever making it and has the worst, most unfair life of anyone in the history of the world. Bar none.
Until White people can understand this FACT, then we will continue to see such staggering inner city violence and attacks on LEO across the country.

actually all use white people should become force recon marines, navy seals, army rangers, delta force, or any other special forces unit, and then we can take over the world by killing every politician we see, and we wont have to worry about being shot because we are invulnerable. we can then rule the world with impunity.
Hispanics - Your experience with bigotry is weak compared to ours.
Muslims - Don't even try it.
Jews - You have nothing on the modern day blacks living in the richest country in the world. Your history of mistreatment, though 10 times longer than our plight, still is insignificant, because WE are the biggest victims the world has ever seen.

What does that have to do with anything? Many people have suffered throughout history. The parable I presented represented two entities sharing the same time and space, supposedly receiving the same wound, but having drastically different results/reaction.
