Immutable characteristics:
1) Race
2) Ethnicity
3) Sex
4) Sexuality

Politics of left and right is really for resolving issues between whites.....not to deal with the issue between blacks and whites....because both parties are dominated by whites.
Well, glad you understand that everyone else has better things to do then worry about your black problems and black issues all day. It's not all about you, and there are many other things to worry about than your blackness and whatever disconnect or angst you feel as a black person in America.
Sell it to the white women paying $2500 to have dinner and learn about their white privilege and racism. The shtick has gone stale otherwise.

Yeah...got to worry about the Dems or the Libs instead. That's value added worrying....hence more productive.

Worrying about Democrats, or Liberals, or conservatives or Republicans... is like worrying about many things at once rather than navel gazing and obsessing over your identity and stroking identity based inferiority complexes.
Policy platforms encompass many issues. People who study issues of race tend to be the dumbest in the Universities. The social sciences are for the less intelligent, and I believe there's even IQ studies to show the stark difference in measurable intelligence between professors in hard sciences and garbage like Afro Studies or Women's Studies departments. Might as well study religion, since it's all self-referential dogma peddled to gullible folks who have hard time coping with reality.
I'm talking about the person that made the comment in the title.
It was dumb, but I agree it probably should have been ignored. Millions of stupid statements are made every day.
No reason to make something worse out of it.
Of course. People of all races and gender make stupid comments all the time. However, if the races were reversed, the MSM would extrapolate that singular comment and turn it into a bigger conversation. We see it all.the.time.

I agree with the op, she has the right to complain about two many white people. I feel the same with too many black people. There are some local events I just dont go to because of the large amount of minority. Its nothing wrong with, and i wouldnt call the OP racist. It just the tribal instinct to be with one own culture. where does it say that we must be diverse
Would you stand up and make a public service announcement? I’m guessing no because you would be met with immediate 10 vs 1 violence.

If a white person says that's it's racist, if a non-white says that it's ok.
I'm not saying that I agree or whatever, just noting the hypocrisy is all.
So in that woman's view, multicultural means anything but white people. As if white people, fat, skinny, rich, poor, from foreign countries or even Americans from Guam, Puerto Rico, Florida, New York city, Montana, Kauai, LA, big cities and small unincorporated villages, farms, ranches, from the desert or the tropics etc... their skin color means they are all exactly the same culturally.
No. An argument to ignore this person and move on.
good advice!!!
