It goes without saying that not all whites fit into that category. I don't always feel the need to make sure that I type "some" or "most." If a white person reads this and doesn't fall into this category, then they know that. However, I rarely encounter whites who don't fall into these categories. That's why I don't bother getting into dialogues about it anymore. For instance, I'm not even concerned about what recently happened with the Republican party and Facebook. That stuff is boring and cliche. No need to get up in arms about it. That crap is played out. I chuckle now when I encounter whites and other non black individuals who like to call us monkeys and the "n" word and "colored." I encourage people to stop giving them attention when they do it. It is pretty much a given that most of the non black members of the Republican party who are in high positions feel that way about blacks. That one of them would be encouraging racist diatribe by some random, PWT is not surprising. Yawn.
