New Guy
Hi, I started this thread about race in America and was cordially invited to come in and say hi.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6151573

I have a weekly podcast and I have been doing videos since 2007.

I look forward to learning much. It appears I have much TO learn.

Here's a particular video I did about racism:

Thanks.

1. I suspect just reading these threads will be thoroughly
enlightening. Welcome.

2. Hello, New Guy!

I was alerted about your thread and posted as much as I could at the time. I thought it deserved a more thoughtful response than I could offer right now, but I'm looking to adding more. Good to see you here :)

(edited to include a word)

3. Welcome, Frank!
:hi:

If the tired, non-sensical, Bullshit answers in your OP from some of the white posters here are indicative, then I don't suspect you'll be wanting to discuss race here for too much longer. Join the club! :toast:

My personal favorite:

"I'll ask my partner tonight. He is black. I'll say "Someone wants to know what it is like to be black in America...so...how is it?" I'll get back to you with his answer."

:wtf:

5. Bloo, once again, summed it up in another thread when he said
"Everybody, just let white folks handle this. Don't you know that we are the only ones in this country qualified to discuss race??"

:rofl:

8. Hi TheFrankFactor!
I read your piece and felt it was a good one.
I didn't respond only because I'm in somewhat of a blue(black)funk these day,
and amd reading more than commenting.....just because when one is mad as hell,
sometimes it is better to just keep it to oneself.
