So you have to experience to be able to give an experienced professional opinion on it?
Is there a certain level of racsim that you have to experience that would allow your thoughts to weight heavier than others?
So, why post this if you knew what you were going to get and then flame people that gave their (rehearsed and as you call it generic) responses to the situation?
I guess for this case, "It's a Black thing" and those who are non Black would just have to understand, hmmm?
As you get older and more experienced with life you have to know when (not) to play the race game especially in murky situations such as this one when both sides behave badly.
